My new column in the San Francisco Chronicle
I start a new column today – Food Matters – in the San Francisco Chronicle’s Food section. It’s a Q and A, with room for comments on the online version. I will answer a question or two whenever it runs (how often? I’m not sure). This first one deals with the editors’ question: “What’s the most pressing nutrition issue today, and why?” In a word: calories.
And while we talking about calories, today’s New York Times printed my letter about last week’s post on the 500-calorie cookie recipe.
