Translation: ‘At the table you never grow old,’ An Italian proverb which is used to introduce a talk by Michael Pollan, in support of his latest book ‘Food Rules: An Eaters Manual.’ This is a fascinating talk, advocating ‘culture’ as the place to turn to when looking for guidelines about food, and how to eat, rather than relying on nutritional science or dietary trends. The ‘Cultural Wisdom about Food’ is a good chapter to start with, but Pollan explores a lot of territory in this hour long talk. Thanks to Tim Crowther for passing this one on.
