Your observations are spot on. I lived and cooked for many years in Garches, a suburb west of Paris. It’s a different food culture. But not impossible to implement here where I live in the Hudson Valley. Congratulations on the book! Clear, concise, engaging, informative. I’m about half way through.

Nice quote: “Politics involves genuine relationships with people who are genuinely other people, not tasks set for our redemption or objects for our philanthropy.”

So happy to hear you say that. I don’t get Citizens Cane either!

A hunger cliff is days away. Women, children and food banks will feel it first. Food banks will face logistical and financial challenges in providing the resources currently offered by the SNAP and WIC programs that are set to lose funding.

Food banks are stepping up as millions of Americans prepare to lose federal food assistance, but it may not be enough.

Obesity remains high in the US, but more states are showing progress, a new report finds For the first time in more than a decade, the number of states with rates of obesity of 35% or more has dropped.

For the first time in over a decade, the number of states with obesity rates of 35% or more has dropped.

While this is an encouraging sign, cuts to federal staff and programs that address chronic disease could endanger this progress. #FoodPolicy #Health

Can extended producer responsibility programs push food companies to use sustainable packaging? Can EPR laws drive real packaging change? Explore how holding producers accountable could cut plastic waste in the food industry.

Without any effective laws curbing the use of plastic in packaging, companies have little incentive to choose other materials. But what if that were different?

Taste has been and always will be king 👑. Here’s why. The secret to nudging people to eat better is actually never to talk about health or nutrition or sustainability but to talk about things that really matter to people. And with food, it’s taste.

All commercially manufactured crackers are #UPF. Common sense suggests they can’t all be bad. So I’m on a quest to find one that’s tasty, nutritious, less processed. Tastes okay to me but the uniformity is #monotonous.

So I’ve made a note of the observation and my search continues.

These reasons make sense to me:
• We’ve gotten used to the taste of too much salt & sugar. And folks like what ever it is they get used to.
• Quality ingredients are expensive. Many food start ups are using #UPF technology to offer better quality food. But these products cost more than cheap crap.
