About this episode

Mark Bittman joins Graham Culbertson to discuss how cooking and buying food locally can be a first step towards anarchism.

The fastest, easiest way to anarchize your life is to buy food locally and cook it yourself (or grow it yourself). It won't create an anarchist society. But it's a great first step. Mark Bittman and I discuss that first step, what might come after it, and what difference it'll make in today's episode. We also talk for a while about why processed food is poison and what that means for Ozempic-style drugs.
