Mark Bittman has been touring, promoting his new book, the Food Matters recipe collection. Interesting to learn that he was, before becoming a food writer, a community organizer, and has a sense of returning to a role as advocate - this time for food choices that are better for personal and planetary health.
There's a good conversation between Mark and Michael Krasny of KQED here

It includes some helpful audience comments, and some that are pure baloney and food fetishism.
People really do seem to prefer to attribute magical qualities to food, rather than using some science mixed with common sense. I do think that Bittman has his priorities in order.

I love Mark Bittman, his no-nonsense approach to food that's delicious as well. I'm not surprised about his background, and wish him success in all his endeavors.
