We're hearing a lot about probiotics. Is commercially produced kimchi, sauerkraut, cheese still probiotic?
Michael Pollan
If the sauerkraut or kimchi is in the refrigerated section, it contains live cultures-- probiotics. However, if it is not refrigerated, it's been pasteurized (which the jar may tell you), meaning the bacteria have been killed.

Michael Pollan:
It seems to me that the broad theme of your work isn't food but the relationship between humanity and its non-human surroundings (in which food plays a pretty enormous role, granted). Whether or not you agree with that, do you have any plans to write about other, non-food subjects on this theme, as you did in Second Nature and A Place of My Own?
