Terrific piece, as per the uzh :) And I'm looking forward to listening to you and Daniela: I really like her newsletter. Whenever I see Alice Waters mentioned, I always think of The Bloodroot Collective (https://www.bloodroot.com/). They were (probably along with other, less famous people) talking about seasonality, farm-to-table (if I hear that term ONE MORE TIME) and food ways way back in 1977. I don't use Amazon for all the reasons, but here's a link to one of their cookbooks: https://www.amazon.com/Political-Palate-Feminist-Vegetarian-Cookbook/dp/0960521003. Sorry for the long/linked post. Really love your work!

Cannot thank you enough for your work. Truly incredible how it always ends up resonating beyond food. Am opening a shop dedicated to kids (clothes, books, toys, art supplies, etc.) and thinking long and hard about sourcing, prices, โ€œethical consumptionโ€œ, etc. and your work always provides so much insight.

Thank you again for helping me think differently! I am an occasional listener of Maintenance Phase myself, as a med student trying to disentangle diet-culture from health etc... but I often struggle with the idea that sustainable food and plant-based eating does not fit into a weight inclusive model... because it does! So again, thanks for your take :)

Also, S/O Joshua Specht! In addition to his book, he was an undergrad professor of mine and was the first to really make me think critically of food systems.
