DESCRIPTION:D-I-E-T is a four-letter word. No one likes diets. Diet foods are boring, 
 flavorless, and unsatisfying. Our next speakers have a diet we all need to 
 stick to for the sake of the planet: The Global Warming Diet.\n\nWhile more 
 efficient automobiles and renewable energy sit center stage in the 
 solutions category, agriculture and our industrial food system play a more 
 minor role in the public eye. Talk about a greasy spoon-we emit similar 
 amounts of carbon dioxide eating as we do by driving. U.S. government 
 research shows that our chemical fertilizer and herbicide-based food system 
 contributes close to 20 percent of the nation's carbon dioxide 
 emissions.\n\nWe'll focus on food, where it comes from, how to cook with 
 it, and how changing ones diet can reduce carbon emissions as effectively 
 as buying a new fuel-efficient car. Professor Cordero will present research 
 on the energy efficiency of our food system and the relationship to our 
 changing climate. Chef Stec will then provide some practical advice on 
 changing our eating & shopping habits to match Cordero's data (all while 
 maintaining great tasting food!).\n\nThe material comes from the newly 
 published book, Cool Cuisine: Taking the Bite out of Global Warming, which 
 examines connections between food and energy use and offers solutions for 
 reducing our carbon footprint through consumer education and food choices, 
 and proposes that global warming could be the best thing to happen to the 
 culinary world in a long time.\n\n"What happens on your plates represents 
 your most important engagement with the natural world and the biggest 
 impact you have on climate change" - Michael Pollan\n
