If you’re only thinking about how pesticides affect you or your kids, you’re not seeing the full picture. With this episode I tried to help people widen that aperture.

All these refreshers and boba teas and energy drinks are just the latest wave of huge, sugary drinks - soda originated the playbook, and I dug in with the experts.

I loved this piece so much. The opposite of a listicle piece. The bread that comes out on top is v much beside the point.

Reading abt how beverage companies successfully lobbied against single use can laws bc it would kill jobs. Similar arguments used all the time (coal etc.). Any good explanations of why we’re supposed to accept that AI will kill jobs? But not accept it for the end of polluting industries and actions?

Did I get to go to an heirloom bean festival and chat with the charming bean man Steve Sando ? Yes. Did I get to play bean bingo at a drag brunch? You bet. Did I succeed in creating an episode that can help more people fall in love with beans? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 🫘❤️

A new episode at a time when it’s extremely important to acknowledge the immigrant workers who are the backbone of our food system. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

As farm policy and corporate pressures have pushed farms to get bigger and bigger, idyllic family farms are going under quickly. Yet, most farms today are still "family farms" — so what qualifies as a family farm and why does that definition matter? Read more: foodprint.org/blog/the-slo...

The slow death of the family farm
Small, diversified family farms are declining, but many U.S. farms still qualify as “family farms,” even as corporate consolidation grows.

In today’s @vox.com Future Perfect email @izzieramirez.bsky.social talks about a bad experience with a salad from a robot-staffed Sweetgreen. Def agree- I stopped ordering from the one near my office when the salads got bad/inconsistent - later learned it had become a robot location.

Two articles open in my browser, both include food heists: one is eggs, the other olive oil and together they tell the story of our climate/pandemic food future.

It’s now law in NYC to put organic scraps in the curbside bins. Seemed like a good time to try out one of the food recyclers on the market (I tried Mill). Here are my thoughts.

This piece is classic @lisaelaineh.bsky.social - such a clear and excellent breakdown of the recent history of the guidelines and where the current conversation veers from truth/reality (and where it doesn’t).

Earthjustice is suing to unfreeze critical climate funds unlawfully withheld by the Trump administration, causing lost wages, hiring freezes, and halted projects. This violates both the U.S. Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act—and we’re taking action.

Start with this episode then go buy Brea Baker's book, "Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft and the Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership." It's a powerful testament to the fact that community histories can be preserved in nontraditional ways, even as governments seek to erase them.

Talking to smart people about important issues is what's keeping me going these days. In today's episode on the "cold chain," I got to talk to Gastropod co-host Nicola Twilley about her book "Frostbite.” The book is fantastic and Twilley was a great guest.
