"Jamais la nourriture n’a été aussi sûre et peu chère" : le constat à contre-courant du chercheur Jan Dutkiewicz Co-auteur de "Feed the people!", Jan Dutkiewicz assure que le retour à une alimentation pré-industrielle est illusoire.

"eating offal reduces food waste"

counterpoint: most food waste happens in losing calories and protein in throughput through animals, not in wasting unused cuts of meat.

counterpoint: eat some tofu and don't support factory farming.

a little too much elective affinity these days between health disinfo influencers, "affordability" discourse, and the academics behind the nutritional guidelines, all getting the credulous treatment in the media.

a classic of the genre

New York City!

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO SNOWPOCALYPSE.

The new date for the Barnes and Noble Brooklyn book talk is March 11th.

Podcast cover artwork, an illustration from the cover of the book.

Is the food system broken? No, say @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social and Gabriel Rosenberg. Their new book explains Why Industrial Food Is Good and How To Make It Even Better.

We had a good chat, from cellular agriculture to labour in the food industry.

#agriculture #policy

this is the way

It looks pretty and Prince Charles (lol) said it's sustainable is, uh, not how you adjudicate environmental impact.

Asking journalists covering food to please stop treating farming as aesthetics and read a few peer-reviewed publications.

The Myth of Regenerative Ranching The purveyors of “grass-fed” beef want you to believe that it solves meat’s environmental problem. But this is merely a branding exercise, not a climate solution.

You may have come across a piece about the ostensible plight of regenerative ranchers in Point Reyes in a lefty mag. It spends a lot of time on description and pathos and almost none on the actual environmental impacts of livestock. Read this too (or just instead): newrepublic.com/article/1637...

New York City!

This Wednesday, Feb. 25, I'll be doing a book talk at Barnes & Noble in Brooklyn (Atlantic Ave.) at 6 p.m. Come by!

San Francisco!

Gabriel and I are giving a book talk tomorrow night at USF at 6 p.m.

This event is open to the public! Come by.

New from me: The Colorado River is drying up & the Western US' water crisis is fueling bitter disputes among the states that share it. Yet the obvious solution to the crisis (raising fewer cows in the desert) gets almost no air time. A glaring case of agricultural exceptionalism.

In this episode Shatabdi Chakrabarti, Jessica Scott-Reid, and Jan Dutkiewicz discuss animals and the news. We discuss different types of news as well as some of the challenges that come with creating news content that focuses on animals.

What the Foodies Get Wrong About Food Reform Telling people to eat more home-cooked meals and start gardening isn’t a realistic prescription for widespread change.

So excited @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social and I have the chance to explain "democratic hedonism" in this excerpt of "Feed the People!" in @newrepublic.com.

What is "democratic hedonism"? What does it mean in the food reform context?

An excerpt from @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social's and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social's new book:

Beef and lamb get 580 times more in EU subsidies than legumes, study finds Report says common agricultural policy provides ‘unfair’ levels of support to unhealthy, meat-heavy diets

"Improving the American food system further will require engaging, improving, and fairly distributing modern agriculture’s productivity, not tossing it on the compost heap."

@gnrosenberg.bsky.social and I on the concept of democratic hedonism in food system reform.

Is industrial food actually the villain — or one of humanity's greatest achievements?

This week @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social co-author of Feed the People: Why Industrial Food is Good and How to Make it Even Better.

🎙️Ep available now: link below.

Let me know what you think!

‘Not all ultra-processed foods are the same’ — what next for the food industry? Two books offer refreshing arguments in favour of industrial innovations and appetising alternatives to meat — without the unpalatable moralising

"[Feed the People! and Meat] bring a passion to the affluent society’s intractable modern dilemma of what to eat. As Rosenberg and Dutkiewicz say, it is a dilemma probably most effectively addressed without preaching." A wonderful review in @financialtimes.com.
