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.”

Milan Food Expo: The Trienniale Museum Art and Food Exhibition
Milan’s Trienniale Museum is offering an Arts & Foods exhibit in conjunction with the Food Expo. Your Expo pass lets you in.
I’ve been to many food-and-art exhibits, but this one is beyond enormous. I seems to have everything.
Gursky:
Warhol:
Gehry:
American World War II posters:
Food-related items—paintings, yes, but also teaspoons, coffee pots, refrigerators, and anything else you can think of that might have something to do with food—take up almost the entire museum.
And movie clips! Buster Keaton!
The catalog is 4-inches thick, weighs at least 5 pounds, and costs 60 Euros.
Go.
But plan on many hours.
