For years Mark Bittman has been teaching everyday Americans how to cook. I was a smidge concerned when he wrote that the Minimalist column was ending. But given his recent book Food Matters (which I highlighted in a previous post), I wasn’t too worried.
Last week he wrote A Food Manifesto for the Future in the New York Times. He covers everything I believe is important to our pursuit of healthier eating as individuals and as a population. I certainly could not have conveyed it any better. Please read every word.
He summarizes by saying:
I’ll expand on these issues (and more) in the future, but the essential message is this: food and everything surrounding it is a crucial matter of personal and public health, of national and global security. At stake is not only the health of humans but that of the earth.
I can’t wait to see what he’ll say next.
