I’m speaking with Fabio Parasecoli about his new book, Gastronativism: Food, Identity, Politics, at the Museum of the City of New York at a session chaired by Krishnendu Ray at 6:30 pm. Information is here and the ticketing link is here. This is a preview of the museum’s forthcoming exhibit, Food in New York: Bigger Than the Plate (opening September 16) and is co-presented by MOFAD (Museum of Food and Drink).

CSPI launches “Real Bears” Video. Hint: soda companies won’t like it.
Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has just launched its new drink-less-soda initiative, “The Real Bears” video, just in time for Food Day on October 24.
According to USA Today, CSPI teamed up with
Alex Bogusky, the culturally influential ad legend whose former agency, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, has created ads for such hot-button clients as Burger King, Domino’s and, yes, Coca-Cola.
Bogusky left the agency world in disgust two years ago. Now, he’s back in a new role: taking on the cola industry….
The video is, to say the least, hard hitting. I’m waiting for soda industry responses and will post them here. Stay tuned.
