Bread, Wine and Chocolate in a Warming World

Pouring Wine

The industrialization of food has caused much of the food we eat to taste the same, whether you are nibbling at a farmer's market in San Francisco, a Midwestern barbecue or a fast food joint in China. Ninety-five percent of the world's calories now come from only 30 species, and Simran Sethi says a closer look at America's cornucopia of grocery store options shows that our foods are primarily made up of only corn, wheat, rice, palm oil and soybeans. Sethi traveled to six continents in search of delicious and endangered tastes and how we can save the foods we love.

Speakers: Simran Sethi, Author, Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love;
Anna Lappe, Author, Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It
