Mark Bittman has a lot of my respect. He is not only a talented chef (he wrote the Personal Fit bible...How to Cook Everything Vegetarian) he also loves to eat good food and cares passionately about it. His concern about the ecological and health impacts of our modern diet, which he characterizes as overwhelmingly meat-centered and hooked on fast food, is channeled into this 20 minute speech at last years TED Conference. It's an illuminating and entertaining presentation.
Mark Bittman is currently at work on a new book, Food Matters, which explores the link between our eating habits and the environment, offering an accessible plan for a planet-friendly diet.
