One Bite is Everything

The Last Supper and the Future of Food: Sam Kass on Climate, Culture, and What Comes Next


Listen Later

What if your dinner could change the world?

In this episode of One Bite is Everything, host Dana DiPrima sits down with Sam Kass, former White House chef, policy strategist, and author of The Last Supper, to explore how food lies at the heart of the climate crisis and could be one of our most powerful solutions.

They dive into Sam’s journey from the kitchen to the West Wing, the climate warning hidden in our everyday ingredients, and what it will really take to build a food movement that has staying power. Sam shares behind-the-scenes stories from global climate summits, candid reflections on the battles in Washington, and sharp insights into how culture, policy, and the food industry intersect.

You’ll learn:

  • Why climate change is already reshaping what we eat—from chocolate to rice
  • How the “Last Supper” dinners helped world leaders feel the climate crisis
  • What role corporations, consumers, and voters each play in transforming the system
  • The surprising story behind McDonald’s regenerative beef initiative
  • How small daily choices—like what’s on your plate—can add up to systemic change
