Writer and cultural critic Alicia Kennedy joins us live in Brooklyn for a wide-ranging conversation on food, media, and the systems that shape what—and how—we eat. We talk about the tension between personal choice and structural barriers to cooking, the role of food journalism in the climate crisis, and the rise of plant-based products backed by Big Food. Alicia also shares her perspective on what it really means to eat locally and sustainably—and why that way of eating shouldn't be reduced to a fleeting trend.
With her signature clarity and insight, Alicia makes the case for a more grounded, thoughtful food culture—one that’s rooted in place, policy, and public good.
Recorded live in Bushwick as part of the Know Your Food event series.
