A Food Manifesto for the Future

Mark Bittman is one of my favorite food writers.  The “Minimalist” column ran for years in the NY Times.  When he writes that we should “Encourage and subsidize home cooking. (Someday soon, I’ll write about my idea for a new Civilian Cooking Corps.) When people cook their own food, they make better choices. When families eat together, they’re more stable. We should provide food education for children (a new form of home ec, anyone?), cooking classes for anyone who wants them and even cooking assistance for those unable to cook for themselves”  I pay attention because this mirrors my own thinking.
