Former White House Chef Sam Kass: How to Overcome the Coming Food Crisis

Description

Our food system is reaching a breaking point—and the warning signs are already on our plates. From disappearing crops to rising health costs, it’s clear that the way we grow and eat food can’t continue as it has.

Today on The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sam Kass, former White House chef and senior policy advisor, to explore his new book The Last Supper: The Politics of the End of Food. We talk about what’s driving the crisis, what’s already being done to repair it, and how each of us can help build a food system that supports both people and the planet. Join us for the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

We discuss:

• What if the foods you eat every day are quietly shaping both your health and the planet’s?

• Learn how a healthier food system could mean cleaner air, better soil, and stronger communities.

• See why so many farmers want to do better—and what keeps them stuck.

• How everyday food choices shape the culture that businesses and policymakers follow.

• Simple actions you can take now to help build a food system that serves all of us.

If this really is our “last supper” with the food system as we know it, we have the power to decide what comes next. Let’s make it a meal that feeds both people and the planet.
