Food Systems and the Cultural Influence of Creators with Sam Kass

What if your dinner choices could help create positive change for the planet?

Today Abbey sits down with Sam Kass, former senior food policy advisor to President Obama, to explore how our food systems are deeply intertwined with climate change. Sam’s book, "The Last Supper," reveals not just the issues, but also practical steps we can take to shift our eating habits for the better (without fear-mongering and virtue signaling).

It’s not just about buying organic at the farmer’s market—it’s about rethinking what we value as a culture. And our two cents? Food content creators are key players in shaping the views, values, and habits that inform dinner plates across the country.

This conversation gives "influencing" a whole new meaning 🍽️ We hope you enjoy!
