Thanks for posting this - that was a great article. I've read on of Pollan's books but it didn't catch me enough to go on to read Omnivore's Dilemma. I'm going to give it a read.
I'm really interested in the skim milk thing. I read awhile ago (don't recall where) that a diet of potatos and whole milk is nutritionally complete - i.e. you could live off it. While I wouldn't go try it, I find tidbits like that fascinating and wonder if they are true.
The discouraging aspect of this is the corruption in government regulation.
