Culinary Crusade - Part 1

“I’ve dwelled on the all-but-forgotten ideas of people like Weston Price and Sir Albert Howard – ecological thinkers about the human food chain – because they point us down a oath that might lead the way out of the narrow, and ultimately unhelpful, confines of the nutritionism: of thinking about food strictly in terms of its chemical constituents. What we need now, it seems to me, is to create a broader, more ecological – and more cultural – view of food. So let us try.”
