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).

Happy (VERY happy, apparently) July 4
I don’t know what to say. It’s a whole new world of food politics out there. Happy Fourth! Enjoy!

What does this have to do with food politics?
- The FDA has not approved the use of cannabis and Cannabis derivatives in food products, at least for interstate commerce.
- Given this situation, New York City has banned sales of food products containing CBD.
- The FDA is taking comments on what it should do about Cannabis rules until July 16. File there here.
The FDA, litigation and maybe Congress will eventually clear up the confusion about what is and is not legal. In the meantime, you are on your own….
