Join NYU Libraries for an insightful discussion with some of our most esteemed panelists about how the conversation, study, and action around food has evolved over the last two decades. Together, we’ll reflect on 20 years of the Critical Topics in Food event series and examine the role that thoughtful community gatherings like these have played in shaping our collective dialogue about food. The Critical Topics in Food event series is a partnership between NYU Special Collections, NYU Steinhardt Department of Nutrition & Food Studies, and Clark Wolf.

Weekend reading: What’s the Matter with Meat?
Katy Keiffer. What’s the Matter with Meat? Reaktion Books, 2017.
Katy has a terrific show on Heritage Radio that I’ve been on several times and I was happy to do a blurb for her new book:
Katy Keiffer has produced a thorough and well researched analysis of everything that’s wrong with industrial meat production. Her book is worth reading for its focus on animal welfare, antibiotic resistance, and worker safety, but even more for its critique of the effects of animal feed production on international trade and land grabs. This book is for everyone who cares about how meat-eating affects our planet.
