I love food posters. Thanks to Food Safety News for the heads up about the National Library of Medicine’s exhibit of marvelous food posters from World Wars I and II. Many of these can be seen online at the Smithsonian’s site. The exhibit was curated by Cory Bernat, who comments on it and also has a collection posted on the web (I’ve seen it and it’s wonderfully downloadable, but seems to have a bandwidth problem at the moment). Enjoy!
This is a talk with Laura Shapiro on the new book, Slow Cooked: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics. It will be held at the Greene Space, 44 Charlton, 7:00-8:15.
Information about tickets is here.
