Food is one of the most universal and essential parts of human life. From gourmet steaks to the everyday, humble, packet of crisps, food consumption is everywhere. But what do we actually know about how our food is grown? How is it processed? And how does it ends up on our supermarket shelves or in our restaurants and takeaways? While we may look back and think traditional food customs are more often in harmony with the natural environment, most of us today rely on a complex global food web of production, distribution, consumption and disposal. But how does it work, and what can philosophy say about food? Joining our discussion on food philosophy today is philosopher Julian Baggini. Baggini is an expert in popular philosophy with Sunday Times best-selling books such as How the World Thinks, How to Think Like a Philosopher and The Pig That Wants to be Eaten. He has served as the academic director of the Royal Institute of philosophy and is a member of the Food Ethics Council. He has written for The Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement, the Financial Times, and Prospect Magazine, as well as a plethora of academic journals and think tanks. In his wide-ranging and definitive new book, How the World Eats, Baggini argues that the need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent. Baggini delves into the best and worst food practises around the world in a huge array of different societies, past and present-exploring cutting edge technologies, the ethics and health of ultra processed food and the effectiveness of our food governance. His goal: to extract a food philosophy of essential principles, on which to build a food system fit for the 21st century and beyond. What is that food philosophy? Let's tuck in, and find out.

For the last few years, philosopher Julian Baggini has been exploring the hidden forces that shape our food choices — from the debates over organic vs. conventional farming to the global inequalities baked into our supply chains to the science of the optimal diet. He joins us to share a few key insights from his book How the World Eats.
The philosopher and journalist talks to Mark about why the big picture surrounding food confuses people, and what we can do to remedy that dynamic; what surprised him most in his research around the global food landscape; and 'food citizens' vs 'food consumers.'Read an excerpt from Julian Baggini's new book, 'How the World Eats,' on the Bittman Project: https://bittmanproject.com/how-the-world-eats/Subscribe to Food with Mark Bittman on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen, and please help us grow by leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts.Follow Mark on Twitter at @bittman, and on Facebook and Instagram at @markbittman.

There's a food theme in this week's episode as we head to Wigtown to chat to The Hebridean Baker Coinneach MacLeod, food historian Pen Vogler on her books Scoff and Stuffed and philosopher Julian Baggini tells us How The World Eats. Plus we get the Books of Your Life from Gareth Brown and find new books in the RNIB Library. The image used is a fun collage featuring moments from the Wigtown Book Festival, along with some of the authors and their works. On the top left, there's the festival's lovely handwritten-style logo with little birds fluttering around it. Just beside that, we see the cover of The Hebridean Baker by Coinneach MacLeod, showcasing a man in a kilt standing in the rugged Scottish outdoors—probably hinting at some great Scottish baking stories! To the right, we have the RNIB Connect Radio logo. In the middle left, there's a picture of three smiling people: Robert Kirkwood (who you might know from RNIB Radio) is standing on the left, holding a microphone. Next to him is Coinneach MacLeod holding a book, and to the right of him is Pen Vogler, who is holding her book Stuffed: A History of Good Food and Hard Times. Then, on the center right, there's a nice portrait of Pen Vogler herself, looking thoughtful and confident, with her book cover prominently displayed next to her. Moving down to the bottom, on the left is the colorful cover of How the World Eats by Julian Baggini, which seems to explore food from different cultures across the globe. And on the bottom right, there's a picture of Julian Baggini himself, standing casually outdoors against a stone wall. All in all, this collage gives a taste of the authors and books you'd encounter at the festival, with a nice focus on food and culture.

Author, journalist, and hard hitting disease detective Maryn McKenna has been reporting on bad bugs since long before it was cool. In this episode, Maryn joins Lance and Matt to explore intersections of viral, bacterial, and fungal infections in the era of COVID-19. Even in the midst of a pandemic, the U.S. livestock and agriculture industry continues to overuse antibiotics critical to human health. If we don’t course correct soon, we run the risk of losing these drugs for good. Maryn offers her take on antibiotic resistance and walks us through her career reporting on every aspect of the issue from factory farming to stubborn pharmaceutical marketplaces. She has been an influential voice on the topic for years, having authored two books on the subject Superbug: The Fatal Menace of MRSA and Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats.

This was supposed to be the Queens Night Market’s big summer... When the open-air market debuted in 2015, the crowds were massive. Founder John Wang selected food vendors who represented more than 90 countries. And he had one rule for them: no item could cost more than $5. That way the market would be accessible to nearly everyone, and big businesses would stay away. In 2019 the market set a new record for attendance, and finally started to turn a small profit. In 2020 they planned to release a cookbook. Instead, because of coronavirus, the market never opened. This week, to understand some of what we’ve lost to the pandemic, we share a vivid reminder of what we had.

Presented by Restaurateurs Amy Besa and Chef Romy Dorotan, of Purple Yam, Brooklyn, NY & Manila, Philippines There are many indigenous ingredients in the Philippines which need to be recognized as the foundation of Philippine food traditions. These indigenous ingredients represent Filipino flavor profiles which should be categorized as FOOD THAT WAS ALWAYS OURS opposed to Food that was borrowed and made our own. This is a major premise discussed in two chapters of Amy Besa and Chef Romy Dorotan’s book, Memories of Philippine Kitchens. Separating indigenous from non-indigenous ingredients, Besa feels is the best way to look at Philippine cuisine and helps people identify and organize the significance of each and every flavor encountered. These non-indigenous plants and ingredients arrived via Galleon trade between Manila and Acapulco from 1565-1815 or after. These indigenous ingredients highlighted by Purple Yam Malate represent edible products from culinary plants grown in the Philippines which are (1) unknown; (2) ignored and (3) undervalued. These are artisanal products produced in small quantities and not available to the mass market. They represent flavors that come directly from Philippine soil, water and air. To sample Filipino food made with these ingredients will be a rare opportunity. Many commercially produced dishes in both the home country and abroad do not offer these rare and endangered flavor profiles. A renewed interest will prevent their disappearing and hopefully, their recognition and resurgence may lead to people using them and thereby preserving them. Amy Besa and her husband, Chef Romy Dorotan, have been in the restaurant business in New York City for the past 22 years. They opened Cendrillon, a Filipino pan-Asian restaurant in SoHo in Manhattan in 1995 and closed it after 13 ½ years and re-opened Purple Yam in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn in November 2009. Purple Yam Malate, their first branch in the Philippines, opened on July 4, 2014 in Amy’s childhood home in one of the oldest historical districts of Manila. A kiosk at Estancia Mall in Pasig was set up in December 2015 as another venue to share homemade ice creams using local fruits, coffee and dairy products along with other Filipino delicacies such as buko pies and bibingka made with heirloom rice from the Cordillera rice terraces. Amy and Chef Romy are co-authors of the award winning cookbook, Memories of Philippine Kitchens (2006, Stewart, Tabori and Chang, NYC). The book received the Jane Grigson Award for distinguished scholarship and research and the quality of its writing by the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) in Chicago in 2007. A second edition of the book was released May 2012 with the last chapter revised to reflect the move from Cendrillon to Purple Yam and the authors’ purpose of showcasing Asian culinary values and re-discovering the Filipino palate. Amy is the founder of the Ang Sariling Atin Culinary Heritage Institute (ASA) in the Philippines. The ASA has three primary goals: (1) to produce and publish a book on the Philippine palate based on scientific studies of the flavor regions of the Philippines; (2) build community kitchens to make healthy, nutritious and hygienic food available and accessible to poor communities in the Philippines and (3) to create livelihoods, impart skills and develop markets for artisanal products for the purpose of preserving our culinary heritage.

The United Nations calls the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria the "the greatest and most urgent global risk," an epidemic that is projected to cost the world $100 trillion (TRILLION) and cause 10 million deaths per year by 2050. For a long time, it was thought that antibiotic resistance was only caused by misuse of these drugs in medicine, but in her book ""Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats," author Maryn McKenna documents how drug-resistant bacteria are being spread through our food system. McKenna joins host Jenna Liut to discuss her research on how the excessive use of antibiotics in the poultry industry in particular helped give rise to this public health epidemic and what we can do now to ensure safer, healthier eating for ourselves and future generations.

We eat a lot of chicken. But we didn't used to. What changed? In part, what changed was the discovery that antibiotics could build a bigger, better chicken. Now, the big chicken may be suffering the results of too much medicine. This week, we hear from science journalist Maryn McKenna about her new book "Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats."

The Future of Everything with Russ Altman: "Roz Naylor: Changing how — and what — the world eats" The challenge of feeding a growing planet is on the table as food security expert Roz Naylor and host Russ Altman discuss the rapidly changing landscape of agriculture. Originally aired on SiriusXM on April 21, 2018. Recorded at Stanford Video.
As the global population approaches 10 billion and the effects of climate change continue to alter familiar agricultural patterns, the world is already witnessing a transformation in how and where it gets its food. Even diets are changing as people move away from traditional animal proteins, like beef and pork, to fish and vegetable sources. Stanford's Roz Naylor, the director of the Center on Food Security and the Environment, says those shifts could lead to a world that looks a lot different than today. For instance, Naylor says that aquaculture, better known as fish farming, is now the fastest growing sector of the global food industry. And, thanks to changes in the industry, rapidly growing Africa stands to become a hotspot for agricultural entrepreneurs. On this episode of “The Future of Everything” radio show, Naylor discusses these and the many other ways in which the business of feeding the world is changing right before our eyes.
We often take for granted the ubiquity of chicken in the American diet. Acclaimed journalist Maryn McKenna bypassed our familiarity with a fascinating history of chicken in her book Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Changed Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats. She took the stage to share her chronicle of how economic, political, and cultural forces converged to make America’s favorite meat a hidden danger. McKenna brought us on an extraordinary journey from the vast poultry farms of the United States to laboratories, kitchens, and sidewalk markets around the world. She highlighted how routine use of antibiotics transformed agriculture, changed the world’s eating habits, and contributed to the deadly rise of drug-resistant infections around the globe. Join us for a conversation on how this common backyard bird became an industrial commodity impacting human health around the world—and learn about companies, activists, farmers and chefs who are carving a path back to better, safer food. Recorded live at Impact Hub by Town Hall Seattle on Tuesday, January 23, 2018.

This week my guests discuss big problems regarding food. How can we work toward healthy food and enough food for everyone? Maryn McKenna is a journalist who writes about science, food, and disease. Like Superbug: The Fatal Menace of MRSA. But that's not the end of it. We’ve been pumping antibiotics into chicken for a good long time. They have come home to roost. We can’t make antibiotics faster than evolution. Ms. McKenna and I talk Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats. I also speak with Andrew Fisher of Portland. He is an activist in the anti-hunger field. For twenty-five years he has worked building coalitions to fight for better food and nutrition laws. He is blowing the whistle. Hunger is big business. Andrew is the author of Big Hunger: The Unholy Alliance Between Corporate America and Anti-Hunger Groups. Finally, I speak with John Teton, author of the International Food Security Treaty (www.treaty.org). This treaty is an international enforceable law requiring all nations to guarantee food to everyone in their borders and not use hunger as a weapon. That would end the wars.
Did you know that most meat animals in the United States are currently raised with the assistance of antibiotics? Eighty percent of the antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used in animals, not humans, and their use contributes to antibiotic resistance, which the United Nations calls “the greatest and most urgent global risk.” Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Maryn McKenna, author of “Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats.” McKenna describes the extraordinary history of antibiotic use, when the drugs were added to lipstick, ice, and painted on the outside of meat cuts, and the consequences we face today from not heeding warnings about the misuse of these precious drugs. Chickens were the first animals to get growth promoter antibiotics and they may be the first to be raised without them, thanks to growing consumer awareness and pressure in the marketplace.

We eat a lot of chicken. But we didn't used to. What changed? In part, what changed was the discovery that antibiotics could build a bigger, better chicken. Now, the big chicken may be suffering the results of too much medicine. This week, we hear from science journalist Maryn McKenna about her new book "Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats." We'll also hear from zoonotic disease specialist Tara Smith about the challenges scientists face trying to get out of the lab and into the pigpen. This episode is...
Chicken is such a mainstay of the contemporary American dinner table that it seems hard to imagine that, just a century ago, it was rare and expensive. But over the course of the 20th century, both chickens and the chicken industry exploded in size. Much of that growth can be attributed to the miraculous properties of antibiotics, which were developed to fight human diseases but quickly began to be fed to farm animals in vast quantities. Journalist and author Maryn McKenna weaves these two intertwined tales together in her new book, Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats. In this episode of Gastropod, she describes the consequences of decades spent feeding chicken antibiotics, in terms of chicken flavor, poultry well-being, and, most significantly, human health.
Si quieres hacer actividades relacionados con esta entrada, las encontrarás a continuación del texto en inglés.Hay mucha diferencia entre lo que cenamos los españoles y lo que cenan nuestros vecinos portugueses o franceses y pasa lo mismo con otros países que no estando tan cerca tampoco estan muy lejos como los alemanes, ingleses o irlandeses.No soy la primera persona que se plantea estas diferencias, de hecho Peter Menzel y su esposa Faith D’Alusio han escrito un libro titulado “Hungry Planet: What the World Eats”, han estudiado a 30 familias de 24 países diferentes de todo el mundo, y han descubierto que a pesar de las grandes diferencias también hay muchas cosas en común cuando hablamos de comida, todos comemos “comida rápida”, todos gastamos mucho dinero en dulces y menos en verdura o fruta y preferimos las comidas precocinadas que sólo hay que calentar antes de servir , a cocinar en nuestro tiempo libre.Pero lo que quiero es explicaros en que consiste la cena en mi país ya que no tiene nada que ver con otros países europeos.La primera gran diferencia es la hora, nosotros no cenamos antes de las 8.30 o las 9 de la noche y es muy frecuente que muchas familias empiecen a cenar entre las 9.30 y las 10 de la noche.La segunda diferencia el la cena “en si” , nuestra cena es ligera, normalmente una tortilla, un sandwhich, algo de pescado o simplemete “picar algo” , no es una comida familiar, la mayor parte de las veces se trata de una comida informal que se hace en la cocina o viendo la televisión. Nada que ver con el resto de europeos que hacen de la cena la comida mas importante del día.Algunas de estas costumbres están cambiando sobre todo en las ciudades grandes pero aún nos cuesta cenar antes de las 8 de la tardeDinner TimeThere are important differences between a Spanish dinner and Portuguese or French dinner, despite us being neighbours. The same is true for other countries that aren’t that far away but also very different like German, British or Irish people.I’m not the first to take an interest in the matter. Peter Menzel and his wife Faith D’Alusio have written a book called “Hungry Planet: What the World Eats”, in which they studied 30 families from 24 different countries from all over the world and they have discovered that there are some differences but also many similarities when we talk about food. All of us eat “fast food”, we spend a lot of money on sweets and less on vegetables or fruit and we prefer precooked food that only needs to be heated up before it's eaten rather than to cook in our free timeBut I want to explain to you what a Spanish dinner consists of as it’s quite different to other countries in Europe.The first big difference is the time, we never have dinner before half past eight or nine in the evening and it’s quite usual that families start dinner at 9.30 or 10 in the evening.The second difference is the dinner itself, ours is light, we usually have an omelette, a sandwich, fish or simply we “a little something”, it’s not a family meal, it’s usually an informal meal had in the kitchen or in front of the TV, nothing to do with the rest of Europe that considers dinner the most important meal of the day.Some of these habits are changing, specially in big cities, but we still find it difficult to have dinner before 8 in the evening.ES HORA DE CENARActividades antes de escuchar el podcast.1.

Guest Peter Menzel, award-winning photojournalist and co-author with Faith DAlusio of Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects, and What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets, describes global consumption, entomophagy, and the images that put a face on food, health and agriculture.Hungry Planet
Michael Pollan believes that “real food”—the kind of food your great-grandmother would recognize as food—is being undermined across the globe by science on one side and the food industry on the other. As the modern Western or “American” diet has been linked to an epidemic of chronic diseases, from obesity and type 2 diabetes, what can governments and their citizens do to put the focus back on the health of the soil, plants, and animals that make up the food chain? Pollan joins the Council to explore what the industrialization of food and agriculture has meant for the world’s health and happiness, how it has shaped cultures, and looks at the growing movement to renovate the food system.
