NYU’s Institute of Public Knowledge is hosting the launch of Practicing Food Studies, edited by Amy Bentley, Fabio Parasecoli, and Krishnendu Ray. I wrote the Foreword.

Due May 8: Comments on the 2015 Dietary Guidelines
You still have time to file comments on the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee report.
I’ve just been sent the comments from
- Dr. Mary Bassett, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (these are an excellent model)
- Ridge Shinn of the Sustainable Livestock Farmers (they are collecting signatures on theirs)
Yours don’t have to be lengthy, formal, or cover everything.
You just need to identify the issue, state your opinion, and indicate what you want the guidelines to do or say.
Your opinion counts. Do it now!
