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.”

FoodPolitics is on vacation until January 6
I’ve just been sent the copy-edited manuscript of my forthcoming book, What to Eat Now, the new and almost entirely revised edition of What to Eat to be published in fall 2025 (Picador Press). I will be working on that over the holidays, will have more to say about it next year, and will return to the daily updates on January 6.
Have wonderful holidays. Happy new year!
