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).

Canada’s food guide: proposed revisions
Canada’s food guide has been around since 2007.
Bill Jeffery, the executive director of the Canadian Centre for Health Science and Law (which publishes the Food for Life Report) has produced an annotated version of the food guide with proposals for fixing its major problems.
Critics viewed it as far too industry-friendly.
Here’s a graphic summary of the proposed revisions.
This is a great opportunity for Canada to produce a food guide that really does promote health.
Fingers crossed.
