Now it can be told. @aezeide, Michael S. Kideckel, and I (and the 11 others in the book) are very proud to say this tweet from Helen Rosner is about Acquired Tastes, out this August from The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social (amazon.com/dp/0262542919?…). If they don't end up using the tweeted blurb, they do have this one:

How will the choices we make today shape the diets of our descendants? The book Acquired Tastes sparks this question as it explores how our current food landscape came to be. #bookreview #futureoffood B.R. Cohen Michael S.
