Counterpoint

Food has become very politicised, there's slow food, food miles, as well as a great interest and concern about the production, distribution and consumption of food.

But doctoral candidate John Schwenkler from Berkeley says that a fundamental re-evaluation of our attitudes to food and culinary culture is needed.
