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.

FoodPrint@foodprintorg.bsky.social · 3mo ago

On the podcast, we explore how soda and other sugary drink companies tap into our innate cravings to sell us more drinkable calories than we are supposed to eat in a week. Listen to the episode, featuring @marionnestle.bsky.social, @mossmichael.bsky.social and more: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

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.

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 4mo ago

Restaurants have been judged on the quality of their free bread from the institutions’ earliest days, @caity.bsky.social writes. She set out to discover which one actually serves the best free bread in America:

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. 🫘❤️

Beans are affordable, climate-friendly and delicious. So why aren’t they getting the star treatment on more plates? In our new podcast episode, we talk to bean enthusiasts — including @ranchogordo.bsky.social — who are on a mission to get the world excited about beans 🫘 foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

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.

In 2025, the U.S. ate about 102 lbs of chicken per person. Who processes all those birds? In our new podcast episode, we spoke to @driveralice.bsky.social about her book “Life and Death of the American Worker” about the immigrants doing this invisible work. Listen: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

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

Not sure it matters in the the current political climate, but this article puts it all there in terms of the power dynamics in the state and why there is pathetic levels of bipartisan inertia in regards to water in Iowa and beyond while people and ecosystems get more and more sick and die.

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...

The slow death of the family farm

Small, diversified family farms are declining, but many U.S. farms still qualify as “family farms,” even as corporate consolidation grows.

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.

The Trump administration has promised to distribute food aid before it spoils. But 500 tons of emergency food in a U.S. warehouse are about to expire and are slated for the incinerator, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports.

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).

RFK Jr. is now in the driver’s seat when it comes to the 2025 dietary guidelines, and misinformation abounds. Senior Staff Reporter @lisaelaineh.bsky.social‬ explains why the guidelines matter, how developing them actually works, and the most controversial topics on the table.

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

FoodPrint@foodprintorg.bsky.social · last yr.

On our new podcast episode, we explore a small but mighty food that seems to be everywhere lately — pistachios. How did pistachios — once mostly eaten by Middle Eastern Americans but stuck on the sidelines with everyone else — hit the mainstream? Listen to the episode: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

I got to interview the brilliant @tomphilpott.bsky.social for our episode on pistachios, 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.

FoodPrint@foodprintorg.bsky.social · last yr.

In our new episode of #WhatYoureEating, “Hungry, Beautiful Animals” author Matthew Halteman makes the case that going vegan should be reframed as a joyful endeavor, not a strict identity filled with obligation 🌱 Listen to the episode: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...

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.

FoodPrint@foodprintorg.bsky.social · 2y ago

In our new podcast episode, we talk to Brea Baker about her book, "Rooted,” in which she maps out the U.S.’s progression from slavery to Emancipation and Black land acquisition — followed almost immediately by violent land theft and devastating loss. Listen: foodprint.org/what-youre-e...
