About The Editors
Food Is Everything. Let’s Treat It That Way.
Through the early part of my career, I (Mark Bittman) mostly wrote about cooking and its pleasures. As I learned more, my focus evolved to include the impact that food has on humans and our relationship to the earth and one another: agriculture, processing, the environment, public health, labor, politics, racism, inequality, justice, and more. This evolved while I was at the New York Times — where I worked for 30 years — and has continued since I left, including the two years I spent running Heated on Medium.
I’m now channeling all of my energy into The Bittman Project as part of a team that shares a common set of values: specifically, that food should be fair to people and animals, affordable for everyone, nutritious, and produced in a way that respects nature and the environment.
