Bittman’s most recent book is Dinner for Everyone. He’s also become a significant voice challenging how our current food system fails in almost every way to provide the most basic essentials for human life — real, good food. And he’s exploring how innovators around the world are doing just that. A former New York Times food writer, Bittman is one of the few people who can speak with authority on virtually all aspects of food.
Bittman is currently special advisor on food policy at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, where he teaches and hosts a lecture series. He is also the editor in chief of Heated. His most recent book is his history of food and humanity, "Animal, Vegetable, Junk."

He is also the editor in chief of Heated. His most recent book is his history of food and humanity, Animal, Vegetable, Junk." Bittman is the author of the award-winning "Food Matters" and of more than twenty other books. For more than two decades he wrote popular and compelling stories about food in the Times, where he became the lead food writer for the Sunday Magazine. He has written for nearly every major newspaper in the United States and for many magazines. He has starred in four television series, including Showtime’s Emmy-award-winning Years of Living Dangerously, and he is regularly featured on the Today Show.
Speech Topics
Getting Serious About Food: Safety, Hunger & Sustainability
Eating Like Food Matters
What We Can Do About Obesity
Personal Food Policy: The Importance of Conscious Eating
Reducing Consumption to Heal the Planet & Ourselves
What's Wrong with the Way We Eat
Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating
In this talk, Mark Bittman draws the vital links between our diet, our health, and climate change. Meat, simple carbohydrates and junk food are being overproduced and overconsumed. And our bodies, as well as the planet, are paying the price. Bittman, however, is optimistic. With simple adjustments, he helps you eat more sanely, more consciously, by becoming less reliant on animal products and nutritionally worthless food. His approach helped him lose 35 pounds, solve health problems, and reduce his personal impact on the environment. The steps he proposes are not effortless (eat less meat, and none before 6pm), but they amount to the most meaningful lifestyle change you'll ever try, and they'll make you rethink your relationship to food. A highly engaging speaker, Bittman shows us how our food is produced, how it's marketed, and how it'sconsumedproviding a timely, comprehensive answer to why food matters.
