Where Has All the Chocolate Gone?

The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 13, 2015

Award-winning journalist Simran Sethi explores the history and cultural importance of our most beloved tastes, and argues that homogenization could be threatening the diversity of our food supply. Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love reveals how the foods we enjoy the most are endangered by genetic erosion—a slow and steady loss of diversity in what we grow and eat.

EVENT: On Friday, November 20th Sethi will be conducting a bread tasting and signing copies of her book at the Union Square Greenmarket in lower Manhattan from 2:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M.
