Food with Mark Bittman

Writer and food champion Julia Turshen talks to Mark and Kate about the beauty and the struggles that come with being a diligent home cook, how 2020 changed the way we make dinner (and clean up), if "aspirational cooking" has made people cook less, and her new cookbook, What Goes with What.

Reporter Alice Driver talks with Mark and Kate about her work with Arkansas-based Tyson employees – many of whom are immigrants and refugees – for her book, Life and Death of the American Worker. She explains why the number of injuries at the company is higher than reported; how employees feel gaslit; why support for meatpacking companies – and, by default, their cruel practices – is bipartisan; and the growing role of children in the industry.

Mark and Kathleen talk to each other from Meghalaya, in the east Khasi hills, where the government provides just 5 rupees per child per day for school lunch – about 6 cents – plus rice. They talk about the funding that's underway for a group of schools in Meghalaya to change meals there, plus what the schools can do to maintain these positive changes when the funding runs out.

Writer Andrea Freeman, a pioneer in food politics, talks to Mark and Kate about the history of food politics, from colonization to slavery to the Americanization of immigrant food culture; how the way we operate now is rooted in these practices; how Big Food has figured out how to meet kids where they are at any given point in time—from television to TikTok; and how oppression in the US has shaped cultural norms to make racial health disparities appear natural—and, as a result, impossible to solve through government interference.
