good food movement

Episode 8 of At the Table is with Devita Davison, Executive Director of FoodLab Detroit, a nonprofit business support organization that helps to incubate and accelerate food businesses that want to be part of a good food movement.

In this conversation, Devita speaks to the fundamental reasons why the restaurant industry is currently in crisis, including, and most importantly, the fact that the industry is propped up on the backs of our most vulnerable workers. According to Davison the Coronavirus has only exposed this "ugly underbelly".

Devita also explains how class and race are both factors of whether or not a restaurant will succeed or fail during this time and hopeful ways in which the community has banded together in order to come back stronger and more sustainably.

Twenty Questions with Marion Nestle. We celebrate her ten years of Food Politics, consider the Farm Bill, discuss school food, imagine a food policy, visit probiotics and wind up with an optimistic view of individual states doing the right thing with soda tax, school food, and other promising developments that show that the food movement is unbowed by the Trumpsters, and forging ahead. Its always a joy with Dr. Nestle.
