Maybe it was the way your childhood home smelled on Thanksgiving, maybe it was that slice of watermelon outside on a hot day, maybe it was the first time you tried that unfamiliar food you never thought you would like. Whatever it was, it left an impression on you. It created a deep and unforgettable memory. And it is something you return to over and over again. 

We look at those culinary moments and the legacies that brought us where we are today. While it might seem strange to start a conversation about the future of food with the past, those moments shape how we look forward.  

In this first episode of Eating Tomorrow, we explore the history of food, from topics such as heritage seeds to heirloom recipes — with a focus on how history is, even still, directly affecting the future of food. 

What choices got us to where we are? What do we need to change? What do we need to preserve?
