From our friends at Food Tank

When it comes to deciding what is for dinner, eaters’ decisions can be determined by more than taste alone. Food choices affect the environment, the economy, health, social justice, politics, and more. Luckily, there are a number of magazines that can help all of us make better food decisions.

According to Bon Appétit Editor-in-Chief Adam Rapoport, “We as a nation of eaters have evolved. We’ve transitioned away from a world of food TV and celebrity chefs—where you had to be a card-carrying foodie to talk about food with any authority—to one where everyone has a stake in the game. Food has gone wide—it has become, of all things, cool.”

Modern Farmer Editor-in-Chief Sarah Gray Miller says, “if you are a passionate foodie, there is more for you, and if you want to farm, there is enough there, too,” regarding the magazine’s recent rerelease. The magazine promises to highlight “products picked from farmers, not fashion editors.”
