Americans are slowly but surely becoming more aware of their food and how it gets to their tables. In recent years, the terms locavore, foodshed, and community supported agriculture (CSA) have entered the popular lexicon. This heightened cultural and economic awareness has highlighted previously obscure problems of our food system . We are becoming better cooks, more informed consumers, and, in the words of the Slow Food movement, "co-producers." Our panel will explore the lexical contours of the changing American “foodscape.”

Panelists include Brian Halweil, publisher of the new magazine Edible Manhattan; Anne Saxelby, proprietor of Saxelby Cheesemongers; and Michael Anthony, executive chef of Gramercy Tavern. Co-sponsored by Edible Manhattan and The New School Food Studies Program.
