Mark Bittman explains why and how our ‘Western Diet’ is killing us

Thank you Food Tank, for recommending this 2007 TEDTalk by Mark Bittman, New York Times food writer/critic.

Bittman is neither vegan nor carnivore, but advocates for a “real food” diet that’s sensibly, not industrially, raised/grown. He also scoffs at some of the marketing tactics that have become conventional wisdom, such as the idea that we need a lot of meat in our diet to provide enough protein.

Take 20 minutes and become inspired to cook more, eat better, extend your life, improve your health and lower your carbon footprint.
