What happens after 6?
One of the best things about ramping up for a show, is when it all starts to come together. It may sound silly but it is always so fun to read about the speakers, exhibitors and retailers and what they are doing, and how they are impacting the lives of the other sets of constituents and our industry. On a call with the NPA-East the other day I was so pleased to hear their current President say she was reading Mark Bittman’s FOOD MATTERS– an examination of the connection between global warming and our consumption of animal products and processed food– before she even knew he was this year’s keynote. Bittman’s non-dogmatic approach emphasizes less meat and dairy and more fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Bittman refers to his personal diet as “Vegan Till 6,” a practice that has helped him lose weight, lower his cholesterol and blood sugar, and generally live a healthier, happier life. What I want to know is, “What happens after 6?”
And…inspiring my post today, check out the Boston Globe article “Rediscovering and reinventing food for the soul” to get excited both about Expo East featured speaker Bryan Terry, and some of the cool things going on in and around Boston, like the Food Project.
