The New York Times Magazine this week is all about food and food politics. I’ve spent a lazy Sunday morning reading it, and I have found it to be very inspiring. Here are some of the highlights:
- Mark Bittman‘s introduction: “Why Take Food Seriously?”
- William Safire takes a look at new food words, including locavorism
- Michael Pollan’s long letter to the next president on food policy, “Farmer in Chief”
- “Food Fighters,” inspiring short profiles of advocates trying to change food industry
- “Flipping the Bird,” hilarious short piece about Shopsin’s General Store in New York City
