Pollan's books are fantastic and definitely worth reading. I tend to agree with much of what he said in this vid (most of which springs out of his books and Food Inc...also worth the watch).
As the person who handles 99% of the cooking in my household, I don't think you can underestimate the amount of time you need to devote to scratch cooking the majority of your meals. Food shopping, meal planning, food prep and the subsequent clean up take up a shit load of time. However, the benefits are well worth it IMO.
Another thing he touches on, that I think deserves attention, is how incredibly disconnected from our food sources we are in today's society.
