Eat For The Planet with Nil Zacharias

#26 - Mark Bittman on Eating Less Meat, the Problem with Dietary Labels and Why Chefs Need to Go Away


Listen Later

For more than two decades Mark Bittman's popular stories appeared in the New York Times, where he was ultimately the lead food writer for the Sunday Magazine and became the country’s first food-focused Op-Ed columnist for a major news publication. Mark has authored over 20 books and the tenth-anniversary edition of his bestselling kitchen classic “How to Cook Everything Vegetarian,” was recently published.

Mark may write a lot about how to cook vegetables, and even has a book dedicated to helping people eat vegan before 6:00, but he is an adamant meat eater himself. This makes for a rather interesting conversation.

The bottom line is everyone needs to eat much less meat and way more plant-based foods if we want to create a truly sustainable food system, and fight the health crisis we’re facing in this country and globally.

That’s why I believe a conversation like this between people who share similar goals but may not share the same views on everything is so important.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
