Throw a Few Back Tomorrow with Grist Food Politics Guru Tom Philpott
Big Ag sucks, high-fructose corn syrup is toxic like antifreeze, and even a cursory look at the American food system is enough to make any thinking person yearn to be a hermit goat farmer in Humboldt. That's why we often turn to Grist food editor Tom Philpott. A farmer-philosophe from North Carolina, Philpott has a way of breaking down monumentally unpalatable issues of food politics into Scooby-sized blog snacks, with opinions that sometimes waver from the progressive recipe book. He's smart.

Just so happens Philpott is in town at the moment -- he swung by SFoodie world headquarters yesterday, for an illuminating chat about current thinking around school lunch and the state of the American Slow Food movement. You'll have your own chance to chat tomorrow evening, when Philpott and Grist CEO Chip Giller host a (no-host) happy hour at 111 Minna Gallery (111 Minna at Second St.), 6-8 p.m. You'll leave feeling better, we promise. And not just from the Coronas.
