Those clever film folks who make The Meatrix videos, have a new one out on the Farm Bill. Can’t understand the Farm Bill? Try this–it won’t take long–and see if it helps. It is also at this site.
I’m a long time subscriber to Advertising Age, which is just a great source of information about the amounts of money food companies spend on marketing in general and to kids in particular. Thanks to Michele Simon, author of Appetite for Profit, for sending me a link to an Advertising Age video on how food marketers are adapting to their recent promises to stop advertising junk foods directly to kids. Not to worry. They have ways.
I’m giving the keynote to this event, which examines how chefs, farmers, doctors, and thought leaders are shaping a new standard for nourishment—one that’s delicious, culturally rich, and deeply restorative. Experience a Tasting Showcase break between panels; enjoy freshly prepared healthy nibbles from @chefmarialoi, @jennydale20, @chef_jesseriley, and @tarakhattarofficial. Starts 5:30 p.m. Institute for Culinary Education, 225 Liberty Street/Brookfield Place, NYC.
