When New York Times food producer Emily Weinstein joined us for dinner here at faircompanies, one of her first comments was “the US is moving toward this model, the local-obsessed model, the U.S. is trying to evolve into Europe”.

Of course, with that, I had to turn on my camera and from there we talked about eating local, eating slower, an overly-idealized Europe, Michael Pollan and eating what your grandparents ate, Jonathan Safran Foer and a new vegetarianism and whether locavorism could go mainstream.
