"Failure is part of the process. Failure is educational and interesting - and actually, sometimes, speeds things along." - @michaelpollan sharing personal reflections in tonight's final #EdibleEd101 of the semester.
"All plans are up in the air right now."
"We're learning the Western Diet is making us more vulnerable to #Covid_19. If you look at the risk factors for being hospitalized for COVID, they are hypertension, obesity, Type-2 diabetes. What do those have in common? They're chronic diseases linked to #diet." - @michaelpollan
In tomorrow's final #EdibleEd101 of the year, we examine connections, patterns, tensions & contradictions that have emerged from the diverse perspectives presented during the semester. In conversation with @michaelpollan we will reflect on our individual and collective journeys.
Food waste is a leading contributor to #climatechange. While it's not a new issue, there's more than meets the eye in your local grocery store. Have you ever thought about how much waste sits at the farm level?

“What we’ve been able to do,” says @chefjoseandres, “is weaponize empathy."
And what can we do?
"You have every opportunity to dream as crazy as you want. Now is a moment that anything is possible.”
Grateful for tonight's inspiring conversation with @ideagardener#EdibleEd
We need to think #local first. If we aren’t able to solve the hunger problem in areas where food production and hunger occurs within miles of one another, we cannot begin to take it on at a bigger scale. #foodwaste#hunger@chefjoseandres@WCKitchen@EdibleEd101
So glad I was able to listen in to @EdibleEd101 tonight to hear @chefjoseandres talk about how to feed the world. Change has felt scary lately, but this was such a good reminder of the amazing power we all have to make positive change. Thanks to @UCBerkeley for broadcasting
