Information about the Aspen Ideas Festival is here. I am scheduled for a session, The American Wellness Paradox, currently scheduled from 11:00-11:50 a.m., at the East Lawn Tent. This will be a discussion with senior HHS policy advisor, Calley Means. Here’s the blurb on it: “Americans are spending more than ever on healthcare, supplements, wellness trends, and “clean eating,” yet rates of chronic disease and metabolic illness continue to climb. As skepticism fuels the rise of movements like MAHA, debates over what Americans should eat have become deeply cultural, political, and economic. Two influential voices with sharply different perspectives on nutrition and food science explore how food systems, farming practices, consumer culture, and the wellness industry collided to create one of the defining public health debates of our time.”

Point Reyes Station: Point Reyes Bookstore
Mal Nesheim and I are doing a reading of Feed Your Pet Right at 3:00 at the Point Reyes Bookstore. I’m not sure about the location (Toby’s Feed Barn?), but the bookstore is at 11315 State Route 1, in Point Reyes Station and the store’s phone number is 415.663.1542. My lecture is the first in a “Food for Thought” series of lectures by people who write terrific books about food and food issues. I wish I could go to all of them.
