If you’re only thinking about how pesticides affect you or your kids, you’re not seeing the full picture. With this episode I tried to help people widen that aperture.

All these refreshers and boba teas and energy drinks are just the latest wave of huge, sugary drinks - soda originated the playbook, and I dug in with the experts.

I loved this piece so much. The opposite of a listicle piece. The bread that comes out on top is v much beside the point.

Reading abt how beverage companies successfully lobbied against single use can laws bc it would kill jobs. Similar arguments used all the time (coal etc.). Any good explanations of why we’re supposed to accept that AI will kill jobs? But not accept it for the end of polluting industries and actions?

100% accurate take. My very favorite sandwich ever.

Did I get to go to an heirloom bean festival and chat with the charming bean man Steve Sando ? Yes. Did I get to play bean bingo at a drag brunch? You bet. Did I succeed in creating an episode that can help more people fall in love with beans? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 🫘❤️

A new episode at a time when it’s extremely important to acknowledge the immigrant workers who are the backbone of our food system. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

As soon as I read this excellent piece, I headed to social media to see what @profsecchi.bsky.social had to say about it.

As farm policy and corporate pressures have pushed farms to get bigger and bigger, idyllic family farms are going under quickly. Yet, most farms today are still "family farms" — so what qualifies as a family farm and why does that definition matter? Read more: foodprint.org/blog/the-slo...

In today’s @vox.com Future Perfect email @izzieramirez.bsky.social talks about a bad experience with a salad from a robot-staffed Sweetgreen. Def agree- I stopped ordering from the one near my office when the salads got bad/inconsistent - later learned it had become a robot location.

This is shameful, morally unacceptable.

Grilling hot dogs this weekend? Listen to our podcast conversation with @jamieloftus.bsky.social about the July 4th Coney Island hot dog eating contest as well as the thornier issues of hot dog production, from animal abuse to worker exploitation: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

Two articles open in my browser, both include food heists: one is eggs, the other olive oil and together they tell the story of our climate/pandemic food future.

It’s now law in NYC to put organic scraps in the curbside bins. Seemed like a good time to try out one of the food recyclers on the market (I tried Mill). Here are my thoughts.

This piece is classic @lisaelaineh.bsky.social - such a clear and excellent breakdown of the recent history of the guidelines and where the current conversation veers from truth/reality (and where it doesn’t).

There’s no one I trust more with questions about food/nutrition!

What are ultraprocessed foods, and are they actually bad for you? You can ask questions like this during our live Q&A with @marionnestle.bsky.social tomorrow! Drop your questions 👇

Wouldn’t it just be grand if RFK Jr read “Food Politics”?

Are we talking literal or figurative?

Every food (and food trend) has a story. I went looking for pistachio’s, with @tomphilpott.bsky.social @grocerynerd.bsky.social and baker Lena Derisavifard as my guides

I got to interview the brilliant @tomphilpott.bsky.social for our episode on pistachios, now you can interview him too 😊

@tomphilpott.bsky.social is one of those people whose knowledge goes soooo deep on food and agriculture. I loved interviewing him for our upcoming episode. Now you can interview him too! 🤣

I wish it went without saying but removing all mentions of and studies pertaining to climate change does not stop it from happening.

Earthjustice is suing to unfreeze critical climate funds unlawfully withheld by the Trump administration, causing lost wages, hiring freezes, and halted projects. This violates both the U.S. Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act—and we’re taking action.

This conversation was a fun one, a good nudge for the aspiring vegetarian or vegan.

Start with this episode then go buy Brea Baker's book, "Rooted: The American Legacy of Land Theft and the Modern Movement for Black Land Ownership." It's a powerful testament to the fact that community histories can be preserved in nontraditional ways, even as governments seek to erase them.

I learned so much making this episode. Lots to unpack about how we feed our pets and some smart and dedicated people talked me through it.

People fighting for a fairer food system are worried and exhausted, but remain undeterred. “People of color, farmers of color—we’re still here. This effort to erase us hasn’t worked in the past, and it won’t work this time around.” –Shorlette Ammon, co-executive director of @farmaid.bsky.social

The EPA finally acknowledged the risks of PFAS in sewage sludge. What’s next? #pfas #EPA foodprint.org/blog/pfas-in...

In the past I’ve complained about the New York Times not linking to their own great reporting about problems with farmed shrimp when they run a shrimp recipe. But they’re doing it now! Yay!

Talking to smart people about important issues is what's keeping me going these days. In today's episode on the "cold chain," I got to talk to Gastropod co-host Nicola Twilley about her book "Frostbite.” The book is fantastic and Twilley was a great guest.

About damn time.

You may have seen some hot takes about #organic food — that it’s not worth the price tag, that it’s all a scam or that it’s somehow worse than non-organic. We bust these common myths in our latest: foodprint.org/blog/busting...

Last night at bedtime my kid started sobbing and asked to sleep in my bed because “the new year haunts me!” 😳#mood

There's a lot of fanfare about the "new" nonstick cookware that claims to be free from #PFAS — is it any better for people or the planet? Learn more in our latest: foodprint.org/blog/what-to...
