Food Systems and the Cultural Influence of Creators with Sam Kass
Q: What is one concrete thing creators with a platform can do to help the cause?
Creators should transparently discuss the implications of what they serve or promote, balancing taste and health with environmental impact, and use their influence to encourage audiences toward more diverse, sustainable plates.

Q: To be purveyors of change, how would you fit creators into the broader argument about culture shaping the food system?
Culture is shaped by everyday conversations and choices, and creators have the platform to model and communicate sustainable eating in ways that are authentic and accessible, influencing viewers' behavior without requiring perfect policy alignment.
