Great interview with Slow Food USA President Josh Viertel
Q: What are your top three wish list items for fixing our food system?
A: First, that people cook together, and that it be fun. Second, it needs to become easier to buy real ingredients than to buy processed junk. Third, we have to make the economics work. We have to be able to grow food sustainably, while paying the farmer a living wage. And that food has to be sold at a price that’s affordable to someone else who’s making a living wage. A person should be able to grow and sell food and make a living wage without having their customers only be wealthy people. Everyone should able to eat that kind of food every day.
