Food for Thought - Mark Bittman's Talk

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

I wanted to share this excellent video of Mark Bittman, the NY Times food critic (a.k.a. "the minimalist") giving a talk about what's wrong with the way we eat. Click here to watch it now.

Bittman's talk is a nice summary of several of the books I've been reading - he gives a great, brief history of food and eating in the U.S. over the past 100 or so years (a short version of what I learned in Kitchen Literacy) and echoes Michael Pollan's advice to "eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

The talk is sponsored by
TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design) and it's just one of many amazing talks from their conferences so you may want to browse around on their site while you're there to see what else catches your interest - they are all completely free and very eye-opening.

Enjoy!
