"bio": "I was the Senior Digital Producer for KQED Food up until July, 2018. Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

"headTitle": "Bay Area Bites | KQED Food",
"content": "\u003cp>It took years of heated debate, but the federal government has finally decided just how much living space an organic chicken should have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's part of a new set of \u003ca href=\"https://www.ams.usda.gov/press-release/usda-strengthens-rules-organic-livestock-and-poultry-ensures-fairness-organic\">rules\u003c/a> that cover many aspects of animal welfare in the organic food industry. But the biggest impact of the rule will be felt in the organic egg industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organic egg producers always were required to let their hens go outside. But the organic rules didn't define exactly how much space the animals needed. So some organic egg producers built large chicken houses, containing tens of thousands of hens, while allowing those hens access only to a small enclosed porch, rather than pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organic activists, such as the Cornucopia Institute, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.cornucopia.org/scrambled-eggs-separating-factory-farm-egg-production-from-authentic-organic-agriculture/\">accused\u003c/a> those large-scale organic egg producers of violating the spirit of the organic rules, and called on the USDA to crack down on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the new rules, farmers must provide at least one square foot of outdoor space for each 2.25 pounds of poultry in their flock. According to Jesse Laflamme, CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://peteandgerrys.com/\">Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs\u003c/a>, that translates to about two square feet per egg-laying hen, or about an acre for a flock of 20,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elanor Starmer, who's in charge of the USDA's Agriculture Marketing Service Administrator, which runs the National Organic Program, said in a telephone call with reporters that \"\"this rule will level the playing field and provide clarity to the industry.\" Laflamme, who also participated in the call, said that the rule also will help small-scale farmers survive in the industry. \"This is an issue of concentrated organic production versus distributed organic production,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a survey of organic egg producers that the USDA cited in its rule, about a quarter of all organic egg production currently comes from farms that don't meet the new standard. But the USDA is allowing them a lengthy transition period to adapt. According to the new rule they'll have up to five years to change their operations, building new houses or creating more pasture for their hens, if they want to keep selling certified organic eggs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Organic Trade Association, which represents many of the largest organic food companies, praised the new rule, calling it \"not only welcome but essential\" in order to strengthen consumer confidence in the organic label.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the rule also met some harsh criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cornucopia Institute, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cornucopia.org/2017/01/years-making-organic-welfare-rule-way-little-way-late/\">statement\u003c/a>, called the rule \"(way) too little and (way) too late.\" According to Mark Kastel, Cornucopia's senior farm policy analyst, two square feet per hen is \"woefully inadequate\" and is far less than organically raised hens in Europe get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the debate, the National Pork Producers Council \u003ca href=\"http://nppc.org/another-midnight-regulation-dumped-on-farmers/\">condemned\u003c/a> the new rule as an \"unnecessary, unscientific midnight regulation.\" Dave Warner, a spokesman for the pork producers, wrote in an email to The Salt that the new rule doesn't affect many pork producers directly, because little pork is raised organically, but\"we oppose the rule on principle and because it sets a bad precedent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the NPPC, the National Organic Program has no authority to issue animal welfare regulations, because animal welfare is outside the scope of the law that established the organic program in the first place. In a statement, NPPC president John Weber said that \"this is precisely the type of executive branch overreach that Congress will reign in through regulatory reform.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

But the biggest impact of the rule will be felt in the organic egg industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organic egg producers always were required to let their hens go outside. But the organic rules didn't define exactly how much space the animals needed. So some organic egg producers built large chicken houses, containing tens of thousands of hens, while allowing those hens access only to a small enclosed porch, rather than pasture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organic activists, such as the Cornucopia Institute, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.cornucopia.org/scrambled-eggs-separating-factory-farm-egg-production-from-authentic-organic-agriculture/\">accused\u003c/a> those large-scale organic egg producers of violating the spirit of the organic rules, and called on the USDA to crack down on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the new rules, farmers must provide at least one square foot of outdoor space for each 2.25 pounds of poultry in their flock. According to Jesse Laflamme, CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://peteandgerrys.com/\">Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs\u003c/a>, that translates to about two square feet per egg-laying hen, or about an acre for a flock of 20,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the USDA is allowing them a lengthy transition period to adapt. According to the new rule they'll have up to five years to change their operations, building new houses or creating more pasture for their hens, if they want to keep selling certified organic eggs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Organic Trade Association, which represents many of the largest organic food companies, praised the new rule, calling it \"not only welcome but essential\" in order to strengthen consumer confidence in the organic label.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the rule also met some harsh criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cornucopia Institute, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cornucopia.org/2017/01/years-making-organic-welfare-rule-way-little-way-late/\">statement\u003c/a>, called the rule \"(way) too little and (way) too late.\" According to Mark Kastel, Cornucopia's senior farm policy analyst, two square feet per hen is \"woefully inadequate\" and is far less than organically raised hens in Europe get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the debate, the National Pork Producers Council \u003ca href=\"http://nppc.org/another-midnight-regulation-dumped-on-farmers/\">condemned\u003c/a> the new rule as an \"unnecessary, unscientific midnight regulation.\" Dave Warner, a spokesman for the pork producers, wrote in an email to The Salt that the new rule doesn't affect many pork producers directly, because little pork is raised organically, but\"we oppose the rule on principle and because it sets a bad precedent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the NPPC, the National Organic Program has no authority to issue animal welfare regulations, because animal welfare is outside the scope of the law that established the organic program in the first place. In a statement, NPPC president John Weber said that \"this is precisely the type of executive branch overreach that Congress will reign in through regulatory reform.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2017 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Seven years ago, the Navajo tribal council in southeastern Utah started mapping the secret sites where medicine men and women forage for healing plants and Native people source wild foods. They wanted to make a case for protecting the landscape known as Bears Ears, a place sacred not only to their tribe but to many other tribes in the region, going back thousands of years. In one of his final acts in office, President Obama late last month \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/28/507314596/obama-designates-two-new-national-monuments-in-nevada-and-utah\">created\u003c/a> the 1.35 million-acre Bears Ears National Monument, a move that proponents say will safeguard the area's ecology and guarantee food sovereignty for the region's Native Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Up to 20,000 Natives of various tribes live within 45 minutes of Bears Ears, including 10,000 Navajos that live just across the border in Arizona,\" says Gavin Noyes, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://utahdinebikeyah.org\">Utah Diné Bikéyah\u003c/a>, the Navajo nonprofit that developed the initial draft of the monument proposal in 2013. \"It's one of the wildest, most intact landscapes in Utah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> About 16,000 people live in San Juan County, where Bears Ears is located. Roughly half are Navajo, and many in the tribe lack running water and electricity, says Noyes. But the land still provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women hike into the hills to gather wild onions and sumac berries for soup. They bundle juniper branches to burn, so they can stir the ashes into their family's blue corn mush.

Last year, Adams said that while it's important to look out for the rights of Natives, the white \"people who came to the area in the late 1800s\" need to survive, too. And for them, that means raising livestock, but also extracting oil, gas, copper and uranium. \"Why should one group of people be given consideration over the rest of us?\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's top politicians are just as disturbed at the news. Utah Rep. Rob Bishop says in a \u003ca href=\"http://fox13now.com/2016/12/28/utah-republicans-critical-of-bears-ears-national-monument-designation/\">video\u003c/a>, \"Utahns will use every tool at our disposal ... whether it is judicial action, legislative action or even executive action\" to repeal the Bears Ears decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes says his office is readying a lawsuit against the federal government. And Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent subpoenas to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and Christy Goldfuss, managing director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, demanding all documents related to the Bears Ears designation dating to 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even some tribal members worry that greater federal presence under the new monument designation will make it harder for them to access wild resources. They've been failed by the U.S. government before and aren't inclined to trust it this time around. \"As Native American[s], we understand what broken treaties and broken promises mean. We've lived it for the last 200 years,\" said Rebecca Benally, a Native American and the first woman elected to the San Juan County Commission, at a news conference. Benally has opposed the monument proposal from the start, saying the federal government should focus instead on paving the county's 700 miles of dirt roads and lowering unemployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114582\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 3600px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/ap_16210709588146_custom-41c4ccd518dd3a584fb385bf03b087d738f303ff.jpg\" alt=\"The Moon House is a stunning structure created by the Ancestral Puebloans in the 13th century.

But in the case of Bears Ears, the battle lines feel especially deep because of the fissures between Native peoples and the descendants of Mormon settlers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, members of the \u003ca href=\"http://utahdinebikeyah.org\">Utah Diné Bikéyah\u003c/a> formed the Bears Ears \u003ca href=\"http://bearsearscoalition.org/\">intertribal coalition\u003c/a> with five other tribes to draw up a plan to safeguard 1.9 million acres from energy extraction. The coalition sent its plan to the San Juan County Commission, but nothing happened. The tribes claim discrimination, citing the fact that a majority of the commissioners are white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But county leaders say race had nothing to with it. \"San Juan County is the 29th-poorest county in the country. To say we don't want to even look for oil is stupid,\" former San Juan County commissioner Phil Lyman said. Lyman served \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/home/3796711-155/phil-lyman-begins-10-day-jail-sentence\">10 days in jail\u003c/a> last year and was put on probation from the commission after he led an ATV ride over a Native American archaeological site to protest the closure of Recapture Canyon by federal authorities who sought to protect the artifacts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the county commissioners rejected the tribal proposal. Instead they sent their own plan, which maintained land for energy extraction, to Bishop and Chaffetz, who at the time were drafting a master proposal for managing Utah's controversial public lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Bishop and Chaffetz are part of the chorus of voices in the West calling for the federal government to cede control of public land to the states. Bishop is chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and his biggest campaign donors are from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/home/4765799-155/inside-obamas-decision-to-name-the\">oil and gas industry\u003c/a>, according to \u003cem>The Salt Lake Tribune.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning in 2013, Bishop and Chaffetz conducted more than \u003ca href=\"http://robbishop.house.gov/uploadedfiles/pli_by_the_numbers_-_introduction.pdf\">1,200 stakeholder\u003c/a> meetings with energy companies, ranchers and environmentalists. The intertribal council says it was intentionally excluded. Last year, when the two politicians revealed their \u003ca href=\"http://robbishop.house.gov/issues/issue/?IssueID=3623\">Public Lands Initiative\u003c/a>, the tribes argued that large swaths of land in the Bears Ears had been left out, leaving it vulnerable to energy companies. Environmentalists raged that the bill \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcn.org/issues/48.3/the-failed-compromises-of-rep-rob-bishops-public-lands-masterplan\">favored fossil fuels\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the Public Lands Initiative was released, the intertribal coalition, convinced that it had no other choice, had reached out to Obama on its own. The bill failed to get to a floor vote before Congress adjourned for the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House, though, kept talking with the tribes, and they got what they wanted. So too did the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/home/3898005-155/as-utah-lawmakers-prepare-to-protest\">71 percent \u003c/a>of people in Utah who said they supported protecting Bears Ears, according to one poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bears Ears Monument will cover 1.35 million acres, less than the 1.9 million acres that the tribal coalition had requested. And the final plan\u003ca href=\"http://www.hcn.org/articles/obama-designates-bears-ears-national-monument\"> didn't entirely ignore\u003c/a> the Public Lands Initiative. For instance, the monument boundaries exclude the Daneros uranium mine, which mine operators say they hope to expand soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mining within the monument will be prohibited, but ranchers can still graze there, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAOC/bulletins/17ccc61\">statement\u003c/a> by the Department of the Interior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams \u003ca href=\"http://fox13now.com/2017/01/02/utah-ag-says-lawsuit-pending-over-bears-ears-national-monument/\">told reporters\u003c/a> that San Juan County will join the state in suing the federal government over Bears Ears. Meanwhile, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch says he is scheduling a meeting with Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, Trump's pick for secretary of the interior, to discuss what can be done about Bears Ears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while no president has ever undone a predecessor's monument designation, it's possible Trump could try to be the first, even though some experts doubt he could win the legal case. Even if he doesn't try, Congress \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/news/4563968-155/if-obama-declares-a-bears-ears\">could cancel the monument\u003c/a>.

In one of his final acts in office, President Obama late last month \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/28/507314596/obama-designates-two-new-national-monuments-in-nevada-and-utah\">created\u003c/a> the 1.35 million-acre Bears Ears National Monument, a move that proponents say will safeguard the area's ecology and guarantee food sovereignty for the region's Native Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Up to 20,000 Natives of various tribes live within 45 minutes of Bears Ears, including 10,000 Navajos that live just across the border in Arizona,\" says Gavin Noyes, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://utahdinebikeyah.org\">Utah Diné Bikéyah\u003c/a>, the Navajo nonprofit that developed the initial draft of the monument proposal in 2013. \"It's one of the wildest, most intact landscapes in Utah.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> About 16,000 people live in San Juan County, where Bears Ears is located. Roughly half are Navajo, and many in the tribe lack running water and electricity, says Noyes.

Such a partnership has never been attempted before in the 48 contiguous states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For whites, conservation is a matter of not using the land, Noyes says. For Natives, it means actively tending it as they have for generations. \"Our goal is to change how Americans view landscapes so that they include cultures\" as well as plants and animals, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone sees Bears Ears as a sacred source of food and healing — instead viewing the area for its energy-extraction and mineral potential, or for ranching. The Democratic president's most prominent critics – many of them Republican lawmakers at the state and federal levels — are already calling on fellow Republican Donald Trump to reverse the order after he takes office. That's something no president has done in the 111-year history of the Antiquities Act, the law that allows presidents to designate monuments. Especially in Utah, many of Obama's opponents would like to see the area stay open to potential energy extraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_114581\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 3330px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/01/ap_16210709498363-9d60ab6aef8d7dcd0dc7e9b6f52d08a8bb9379a7.jpg\" alt=\"Last summer, protesters opposed to the creation of the Bears Ears monument held signs after U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell arrived for a meeting with San Juan County Commissioners in Monticello, Utah.

Last year, Adams said that while it's important to look out for the rights of Natives, the white \"people who came to the area in the late 1800s\" need to survive, too. And for them, that means raising livestock, but also extracting oil, gas, copper and uranium. \"Why should one group of people be given consideration over the rest of us?\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's top politicians are just as disturbed at the news. Utah Rep. Rob Bishop says in a \u003ca href=\"http://fox13now.com/2016/12/28/utah-republicans-critical-of-bears-ears-national-monument-designation/\">video\u003c/a>, \"Utahns will use every tool at our disposal ... whether it is judicial action, legislative action or even executive action\" to repeal the Bears Ears decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes says his office is readying a lawsuit against the federal government. And Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent subpoenas to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and Christy Goldfuss, managing director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, demanding all documents related to the Bears Ears designation dating to 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even some tribal members worry that greater federal presence under the new monument designation will make it harder for them to access wild resources. They've been failed by the U.S. government before and aren't inclined to trust it this time around. \"As Native American[s], we understand what broken treaties and broken promises mean. We've lived it for the last 200 years,\" said Rebecca Benally, a Native American and the first woman elected to the San Juan County Commission, at a news conference.

But in the case of Bears Ears, the battle lines feel especially deep because of the fissures between Native peoples and the descendants of Mormon settlers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, members of the \u003ca href=\"http://utahdinebikeyah.org\">Utah Diné Bikéyah\u003c/a> formed the Bears Ears \u003ca href=\"http://bearsearscoalition.org/\">intertribal coalition\u003c/a> with five other tribes to draw up a plan to safeguard 1.9 million acres from energy extraction. The coalition sent its plan to the San Juan County Commission, but nothing happened. The tribes claim discrimination, citing the fact that a majority of the commissioners are white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But county leaders say race had nothing to with it. \"San Juan County is the 29th-poorest county in the country. To say we don't want to even look for oil is stupid,\" former San Juan County commissioner Phil Lyman said. Lyman served \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/home/3796711-155/phil-lyman-begins-10-day-jail-sentence\">10 days in jail\u003c/a> last year and was put on probation from the commission after he led an ATV ride over a Native American archaeological site to protest the closure of Recapture Canyon by federal authorities who sought to protect the artifacts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the county commissioners rejected the tribal proposal. Instead they sent their own plan, which maintained land for energy extraction, to Bishop and Chaffetz, who at the time were drafting a master proposal for managing Utah's controversial public lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Bishop and Chaffetz are part of the chorus of voices in the West calling for the federal government to cede control of public land to the states. Bishop is chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and his biggest campaign donors are from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/home/4765799-155/inside-obamas-decision-to-name-the\">oil and gas industry\u003c/a>, according to \u003cem>The Salt Lake Tribune.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning in 2013, Bishop and Chaffetz conducted more than \u003ca href=\"http://robbishop.house.gov/uploadedfiles/pli_by_the_numbers_-_introduction.pdf\">1,200 stakeholder\u003c/a> meetings with energy companies, ranchers and environmentalists. The intertribal council says it was intentionally excluded. Last year, when the two politicians revealed their \u003ca href=\"http://robbishop.house.gov/issues/issue/?IssueID=3623\">Public Lands Initiative\u003c/a>, the tribes argued that large swaths of land in the Bears Ears had been left out, leaving it vulnerable to energy companies. Environmentalists raged that the bill \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcn.org/issues/48.3/the-failed-compromises-of-rep-rob-bishops-public-lands-masterplan\">favored fossil fuels\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the Public Lands Initiative was released, the intertribal coalition, convinced that it had no other choice, had reached out to Obama on its own. The bill failed to get to a floor vote before Congress adjourned for the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House, though, kept talking with the tribes, and they got what they wanted. So too did the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/home/3898005-155/as-utah-lawmakers-prepare-to-protest\">71 percent \u003c/a>of people in Utah who said they supported protecting Bears Ears, according to one poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bears Ears Monument will cover 1.35 million acres, less than the 1.9 million acres that the tribal coalition had requested. And the final plan\u003ca href=\"http://www.hcn.org/articles/obama-designates-bears-ears-national-monument\"> didn't entirely ignore\u003c/a> the Public Lands Initiative. For instance, the monument boundaries exclude the Daneros uranium mine, which mine operators say they hope to expand soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mining within the monument will be prohibited, but ranchers can still graze there, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAOC/bulletins/17ccc61\">statement\u003c/a> by the Department of the Interior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams \u003ca href=\"http://fox13now.com/2017/01/02/utah-ag-says-lawsuit-pending-over-bears-ears-national-monument/\">told reporters\u003c/a> that San Juan County will join the state in suing the federal government over Bears Ears. Meanwhile, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch says he is scheduling a meeting with Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, Trump's pick for secretary of the interior, to discuss what can be done about Bears Ears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while no president has ever undone a predecessor's monument designation, it's possible Trump could try to be the first, even though some experts doubt he could win the legal case. Even if he doesn't try, Congress \u003ca href=\"http://www.sltrib.com/news/4563968-155/if-obama-declares-a-bears-ears\">could cancel the monument\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>At first glance, food policy seems to be an afterthought in the Trump administration. The campaign saw few debates about food or farming. And the president-elect hasn't yet nominated someone to head the Department of Agriculture or the Food and Drug Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Donald Trump's lack of attention won't make future food battles any less cutthroat. Plenty of people in Washington, including powerful factions within the Republican majority in Congress, are hoping to change a wide variety of food-related policies, and believe that the new administration offers a prime opportunity to make those changes happen. Kip Tom, a farmer in Indiana who was a member of Trump's advisory committee on agricultural policy, recently told The Salt that this is a time to \"swing for the fences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parke Wilde, an expert on food policy at Tufts University, told us in an email that shortly after the election, he had predicted that food policies would escape radical changes simply because they enjoyed a lower profile. He has changed his mind since, because \"every news report seems to show that the incoming administration plans to pursue 100 fights simultaneously. I have never seen that approach work in American politics previously. But, in these wild times, who knows?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a list of potential changes to watch for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Will the successful alliance of farmers and poverty advocates crumble?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Farm Bill, which funds both food stamps (now known as SNAP) and farm subsidies, is due to be renegotiated by the end of 2018. Some conservative Republicans probably will renew their efforts, previously unsuccessful, to scuttle the whole package, separating the farm-related provisions and the nutrition programs into separate bills. Many observers believe that this would leave each of them more vulnerable to attack. The political factions that have traditionally supported this bill, though, including farm groups and poverty advocates, are likely to mount a fierce counterattack. The stakes are high. SNAP, in particular, is one of the country's most important \"safety net\" programs for the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. School lunch reforms and nutrition standards may be under attack\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be attempts to roll back parts of the school lunch reforms ushered in during the Obama administration. Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, who has been a key player in pushing for healthier food in schools, told us that \"given the deregulatory, anti-science rhetoric during the [Trump] campaign, we are on high alert.\" She says Congress \"might try to rollback school meal standards or try to dismantle the National School Lunch Program\" by converting them into \"block grants\" that states could manage with only limited federal oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wootan says other nutrition policies at risk include new menu labeling rules. Federal standards requiring chain restaurants to list calories on menus or menu boards are set to go into effect in 2017. Those rules were mandated by the Affordable Care Act. But Wootan says she's concerned that changes being considered by the incoming administration could \"weaken the provision of information to consumers.\" And she says the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that were updated this year and serve as the basis for national nutrition programs \"could be part of anti-science efforts\" during the Trump administration. The guidelines are set to be updated again in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will the administration compromise on farmworkers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hostility to illegal immigration was central to Trump's campaign. But farm groups, many of them bedrock supporters of the Republican Party, are adamantly opposed to any wholesale deportation of immigrants who aren't in the country legally. Many large-scale dairy farmers, and growers of fruits and vegetables, rely heavily on immigrant labor. This promises to be a delicate backroom negotiation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Environmental regulations. Which will go first?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among farmers, few regulations have inspired more hostility than the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Rule. It laid out, among other things, a definition of which waterways should be subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. Farmers were outraged to discover that some of their streams and ponds might be subject to federal regulation. It's likely that the EPA, under Scott Pruitt, will look for ways to withdraw or revise that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other environmental regulations that are less well-known but probably more significant may also face scrutiny. Among them are the \"conservation compliance\" provisions of the Farm Bill. Under this law, farmers who plow up native grasslands or drain wetlands can lose their federal crop subsidies. The EPA also could reduce the number of large-scale animal feeding operations that it regulates as \"point sources\" of pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups are concerned about what Trump's pick for EPA administrator will mean for the plight of bees. Bees are important to agriculture since so many crops rely on the pollination services they provide. And as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/24/457130929/as-beekeepers-lose-more-hives-time-for-new-rules-on-pesticides\">we've reported\u003c/a>, scientists are concerned that the widespread use of neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides on crops such as corn and soybeans is linked to bee decline. Under the Obama administration, the EPA has been reviewing the safety of neonics. The Sierra Club is watching this issue closely. It pointed out in an email to its supporters that \"If Scott Pruitt is confirmed as EPA head ... it is clear he will severely weaken the EPA's power.\" The Sierra Club email continues: \"the fate of bees — and all the crops and ecosystems that depend on them — may come down to a standoff between the Trump administration and science itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Will political inertia trump Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferd Hoefner is one of the true veterans of Washington's food policy community. He has been part of these debates for almost four decades and has been policy director of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, which represents small farmers, for 28 years. And Hoefner, in contrast to every other policy advocate and lobbyist whom we contacted, believes that the Trump administration may choose to continue some pieces of\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Obama's legacy in food and farm policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the environment, he says. Alongside the predictable push to dismantle some environmental regulations, Hoefner sees a good chance that the next Farm Bill might actually contain a new initiative that environmentalists will welcome. It will focus on ways to improve the fertility and microbial health of farmland soil. Soil health has always been central to the concerns of organic farmers. \"We have witnessed in the last several years a tremendous amount of interest in soil health from more conventional farms and organizations,\" Hoefner writes, in an email to The Salt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoefner also predicts that the Trump administration will end up supporting another piece of the Obama legacy, a controversial regulation issued in recent weeks, that protects farmers from abuse at the hands of meat packers and large-scale poultry producers. According to Hoefner, it makes little sense, politically, for Trump to dump a rule that benefits some of his strongest supporters, small farmers who raise cattle, hogs and poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

And the president-elect hasn't yet nominated someone to head the Department of Agriculture or the Food and Drug Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Donald Trump's lack of attention won't make future food battles any less cutthroat. Plenty of people in Washington, including powerful factions within the Republican majority in Congress, are hoping to change a wide variety of food-related policies, and believe that the new administration offers a prime opportunity to make those changes happen. Kip Tom, a farmer in Indiana who was a member of Trump's advisory committee on agricultural policy, recently told The Salt that this is a time to \"swing for the fences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parke Wilde, an expert on food policy at Tufts University, told us in an email that shortly after the election, he had predicted that food policies would escape radical changes simply because they enjoyed a lower profile. He has changed his mind since, because \"every news report seems to show that the incoming administration plans to pursue 100 fights simultaneously. I have never seen that approach work in American politics previously. But, in these wild times, who knows?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a list of potential changes to watch for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Will the successful alliance of farmers and poverty advocates crumble?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Farm Bill, which funds both food stamps (now known as SNAP) and farm subsidies, is due to be renegotiated by the end of 2018. Some conservative Republicans probably will renew their efforts, previously unsuccessful, to scuttle the whole package, separating the farm-related provisions and the nutrition programs into separate bills. Many observers believe that this would leave each of them more vulnerable to attack. The political factions that have traditionally supported this bill, though, including farm groups and poverty advocates, are likely to mount a fierce counterattack. The stakes are high. SNAP, in particular, is one of the country's most important \"safety net\" programs for the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. School lunch reforms and nutrition standards may be under attack\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be attempts to roll back parts of the school lunch reforms ushered in during the Obama administration. Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, who has been a key player in pushing for healthier food in schools, told us that \"given the deregulatory, anti-science rhetoric during the [Trump] campaign, we are on high alert.\" She says Congress \"might try to rollback school meal standards or try to dismantle the National School Lunch Program\" by converting them into \"block grants\" that states could manage with only limited federal oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wootan says other nutrition policies at risk include new menu labeling rules. Federal standards requiring chain restaurants to list calories on menus or menu boards are set to go into effect in 2017. Those rules were mandated by the Affordable Care Act. But Wootan says she's concerned that changes being considered by the incoming administration could \"weaken the provision of information to consumers.\" And she says the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that were updated this year and serve as the basis for national nutrition programs \"could be part of anti-science efforts\" during the Trump administration. The guidelines are set to be updated again in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will the administration compromise on farmworkers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hostility to illegal immigration was central to Trump's campaign. But farm groups, many of them bedrock supporters of the Republican Party, are adamantly opposed to any wholesale deportation of immigrants who aren't in the country legally. Many large-scale dairy farmers, and growers of fruits and vegetables, rely heavily on immigrant labor. This promises to be a delicate backroom negotiation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Environmental regulations. Which will go first?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among farmers, few regulations have inspired more hostility than the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Rule. It laid out, among other things, a definition of which waterways should be subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. Farmers were outraged to discover that some of their streams and ponds might be subject to federal regulation. It's likely that the EPA, under Scott Pruitt, will look for ways to withdraw or revise that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other environmental regulations that are less well-known but probably more significant may also face scrutiny. Among them are the \"conservation compliance\" provisions of the Farm Bill. Under this law, farmers who plow up native grasslands or drain wetlands can lose their federal crop subsidies. The EPA also could reduce the number of large-scale animal feeding operations that it regulates as \"point sources\" of pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups are concerned about what Trump's pick for EPA administrator will mean for the plight of bees. Bees are important to agriculture since so many crops rely on the pollination services they provide. And as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/24/457130929/as-beekeepers-lose-more-hives-time-for-new-rules-on-pesticides\">we've reported\u003c/a>, scientists are concerned that the widespread use of neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides on crops such as corn and soybeans is linked to bee decline. Under the Obama administration, the EPA has been reviewing the safety of neonics. The Sierra Club is watching this issue closely. It pointed out in an email to its supporters that \"If Scott Pruitt is confirmed as EPA head ... it is clear he will severely weaken the EPA's power.\" The Sierra Club email continues: \"the fate of bees — and all the crops and ecosystems that depend on them — may come down to a standoff between the Trump administration and science itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Will political inertia trump Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferd Hoefner is one of the true veterans of Washington's food policy community. He has been part of these debates for almost four decades and has been policy director of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, which represents small farmers, for 28 years. And Hoefner, in contrast to every other policy advocate and lobbyist whom we contacted, believes that the Trump administration may choose to continue some pieces of\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Obama's legacy in food and farm policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the environment, he says. Alongside the predictable push to dismantle some environmental regulations, Hoefner sees a good chance that the next Farm Bill might actually contain a new initiative that environmentalists will welcome. It will focus on ways to improve the fertility and microbial health of farmland soil. Soil health has always been central to the concerns of organic farmers. \"We have witnessed in the last several years a tremendous amount of interest in soil health from more conventional farms and organizations,\" Hoefner writes, in an email to The Salt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoefner also predicts that the Trump administration will end up supporting another piece of the Obama legacy, a controversial regulation issued in recent weeks, that protects farmers from abuse at the hands of meat packers and large-scale poultry producers. According to Hoefner, it makes little sense, politically, for Trump to dump a rule that benefits some of his strongest supporters, small farmers who raise cattle, hogs and poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And in the Bay Area, one group was hit particularly hard: restaurateurs. It seemed like every week, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Range-to-close-after-more-than-11-years-on-10695260.php\" target=\"_blank\">beloved eatery \u003c/a>closed, while another one opened, only to shut down a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Rash-of-new-restaurants-folding-in-short-order-10626867.php\" target=\"_blank\">few months later\u003c/a>. As the Bay Area continues to enjoy tech-fueled economic growth, the restaurant industry has suffered, even as the accolades--in 2015 \u003cem>Bon Appetit\u003c/em> named San Francisco the country’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/best-new-restaurants/article/sf-city\" target=\"_blank\">best food city\u003c/a>!--continue to pile up. Everything is expensive: while SF commercial rents have \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-24/tech-slowdown-seen-in-san-francisco-s-commercial-property-market\" target=\"_blank\">relaxed slightly\u003c/a>, the're still astronomical, forcing chefs to look beyond San Francisco and into the East Bay. The increase in housing prices over the last few years has caused restaurant employees to work farther and farther from their jobs, leading to unsustainable, multiple hour commutes. And on top of all that, food prices \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Why-is-it-so-expensive-to-dine-out-in-San-6856554.php\" target=\"_blank\">continue to rise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result of all this? In 2017, the restaurants you go to--from the hole-in-the wall joint near your office to the fancy, anniversary dinner spot--will look different. They might be closed one day a week, to make up for their shortage of qualified staff. Your go-to dish might be more expensive, to make up for the rising minimum wage. They might be closed for good, and quickly replaced with an \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2016/12/14/13956538/gosu-edm-tea-house-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">EDM bubble tea shop\u003c/a>.

There were visible struggles, like Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/11/29/minimum-wage-protest-closes-intersection-in-east-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">Fight For $15 protests\u003c/a>, where fast food workers joined with child care workers and airport employees to agitate for higher wages. Then there were the less visible discussions about pay, with restaurants still reeling from Oakland’s minimum wage hike in 2015, when it jumped from $9/hr to $12.25. (This year, it rose to $12.55) Most restaurateurs support fair pay for their workers. But the sudden jump--unlike graduated increases, like San Francisco’s, which will raise to $15 by 2018--caused restaurants to scramble, as they tried to scrounge up the money to cover the higher labor costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just this month, Nelson German, the chef behind Oakland seafood restaurant alaMar \u003ca href=\"http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2016/12/20/alamar-kitchen-retools-in-oakland-caters-to-new-restaurant-economy/\" target=\"_blank\">announced his decision\u003c/a> to end the restaurant in it’s current form and reopen it as a casual eatery with counter service. One of the reasons? The minimum wage. When the Semifreddi’s cafe on Claremont \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2016/09/08/berkeleys-semifreddis-bakery-to-close-sept-30/\" target=\"_blank\">closed\u003c/a>, they mentioned similar reasons. Uptown sushi restaurant Ozumo cited the higher cost of everything, \u003ca href=\"http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2016/11/14/oaklands-ozumo-to-close/\" target=\"_blank\">from rent to labor,\u003c/a> as explanation for their recent shuttering. And wages will continue to rise. On January 1, 2017, Oakland’s minimum wage rises to $12.86, and next summer, San Francisco’s minimum wage increases to $14/hr. (Depressingly, the new minimum wages, while obviously a step in the right direction, are still woefully inadequate for the current Bay Area housing market: advocacy group Oakland Rising \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/OaklandRising/status/809534977842946048?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">recently tweeted\u003c/a> that “A minimum wage worker would need to work 130 hours a week to afford median rent in Oakland”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96358\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-96358\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/4434448412_6822b151cf_o-720x480.png\" alt=\"Actual Café.\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/4434448412_6822b151cf_o-720x480.png 720w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/4434448412_6822b151cf_o-720x480-400x267.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Actual Café. \u003ccite>(Carrie Cizauskas/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Fewer workers, fewer restaurants\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest problems currently facing the Bay Area restaurant industry is a lack of qualified staff. Part of the reason is the sheer amount of restaurants in the area, leading to stiff competition for business and skilled staff members. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/19/technology/how-tech-companies-disrupted-silicon-valleys-restaurant-scene.html\" target=\"_blank\">In an interview\u003c/a> with the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>, Delfina co-owner Craig Stoll admitted to posting Craigslist ads featuring pictures of dramatic butchery and pretty waitresses to attract employees). But the core issue is an untenable cost of living. It’s simply too expensive for someone to survive in the Bay Area on a sous chef, dishwasher or server salary--an issue that contributed to Oakland’s Actual Cafe and Victory Burger \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2016/12/16/bites-7-east-bay-restaurant-closures-announced/\" target=\"_blank\">recent closures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some workers stay, commuting into San Francisco from cheaper cities like Concord or Hercules, falling asleep in their chef’s whites on the two-hour, late-night bus ride back. Some defect to startups looking for people to make their catered lunches, and who could blame them: a steady, 9-5 food service position (with benefits!) that pays twice as much as their last restaurant job? Restaurants have always had to grapple with razor-thin profit margins. But now, they’re having to think like labor activists: how do you create conditions that allow your employees to survive? (Lazy Bear even flirted with the idea of \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2015/11/3/9667006/future-of-dining-panel-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">subsidized employee housing\u003c/a>). Many think that the city should do more, anything, to make things easier--to ease up on permit fees (a SF liquor license costs \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2016/10/3/13150324/new-liquor-licenses-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">around $300,000\u003c/a>) or increase affordable housing--but progress is slow. Chris Pastena, who owns Chop Bar, Lungomare and Calavera, is Oakland’s largest private restaurant employer. But he recently told Hoodline that he’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.hoodline.com/2016/12/pastena-without-small-biz-focus-oakland-will-end-up-with-chain-stores\" target=\"_blank\">not going to open\u003c/a> any new restaurants until the city does more to encourage small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109835\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Daniel Patterson in the kitchen of Oakland’s first LocoL.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Patterson in the kitchen of Oakland’s first LocoL. \u003ccite>(Audrey Ma)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The rise of fast casual\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As restaurant owners see their friends and colleagues fail, they’re less likely to take risks.

And in the Bay Area, one group was hit particularly hard: restaurateurs. It seemed like every week, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Range-to-close-after-more-than-11-years-on-10695260.php\" target=\"_blank\">beloved eatery \u003c/a>closed, while another one opened, only to shut down a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Rash-of-new-restaurants-folding-in-short-order-10626867.php\" target=\"_blank\">few months later\u003c/a>. As the Bay Area continues to enjoy tech-fueled economic growth, the restaurant industry has suffered, even as the accolades--in 2015 \u003cem>Bon Appetit\u003c/em> named San Francisco the country’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/best-new-restaurants/article/sf-city\" target=\"_blank\">best food city\u003c/a>!--continue to pile up. Everything is expensive: while SF commercial rents have \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-24/tech-slowdown-seen-in-san-francisco-s-commercial-property-market\" target=\"_blank\">relaxed slightly\u003c/a>, the're still astronomical, forcing chefs to look beyond San Francisco and into the East Bay. The increase in housing prices over the last few years has caused restaurant employees to work farther and farther from their jobs, leading to unsustainable, multiple hour commutes. And on top of all that, food prices \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/Why-is-it-so-expensive-to-dine-out-in-San-6856554.php\" target=\"_blank\">continue to rise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result of all this? In 2017, the restaurants you go to--from the hole-in-the wall joint near your office to the fancy, anniversary dinner spot--will look different. They might be closed one day a week, to make up for their shortage of qualified staff. Your go-to dish might be more expensive, to make up for the rising minimum wage. They might be closed for good, and quickly replaced with an \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2016/12/14/13956538/gosu-edm-tea-house-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">EDM bubble tea shop\u003c/a>.

There were visible struggles, like Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/11/29/minimum-wage-protest-closes-intersection-in-east-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">Fight For $15 protests\u003c/a>, where fast food workers joined with child care workers and airport employees to agitate for higher wages. Then there were the less visible discussions about pay, with restaurants still reeling from Oakland’s minimum wage hike in 2015, when it jumped from $9/hr to $12.25. (This year, it rose to $12.55) Most restaurateurs support fair pay for their workers. But the sudden jump--unlike graduated increases, like San Francisco’s, which will raise to $15 by 2018--caused restaurants to scramble, as they tried to scrounge up the money to cover the higher labor costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just this month, Nelson German, the chef behind Oakland seafood restaurant alaMar \u003ca href=\"http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2016/12/20/alamar-kitchen-retools-in-oakland-caters-to-new-restaurant-economy/\" target=\"_blank\">announced his decision\u003c/a> to end the restaurant in it’s current form and reopen it as a casual eatery with counter service. One of the reasons? The minimum wage. When the Semifreddi’s cafe on Claremont \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2016/09/08/berkeleys-semifreddis-bakery-to-close-sept-30/\" target=\"_blank\">closed\u003c/a>, they mentioned similar reasons. Uptown sushi restaurant Ozumo cited the higher cost of everything, \u003ca href=\"http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2016/11/14/oaklands-ozumo-to-close/\" target=\"_blank\">from rent to labor,\u003c/a> as explanation for their recent shuttering. And wages will continue to rise. On January 1, 2017, Oakland’s minimum wage rises to $12.86, and next summer, San Francisco’s minimum wage increases to $14/hr. (Depressingly, the new minimum wages, while obviously a step in the right direction, are still woefully inadequate for the current Bay Area housing market: advocacy group Oakland Rising \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/OaklandRising/status/809534977842946048?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">recently tweeted\u003c/a> that “A minimum wage worker would need to work 130 hours a week to afford median rent in Oakland”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96358\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-96358\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/4434448412_6822b151cf_o-720x480.png\" alt=\"Actual Café.\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/4434448412_6822b151cf_o-720x480.png 720w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/4434448412_6822b151cf_o-720x480-400x267.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Actual Café. \u003ccite>(Carrie Cizauskas/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Fewer workers, fewer restaurants\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest problems currently facing the Bay Area restaurant industry is a lack of qualified staff. Part of the reason is the sheer amount of restaurants in the area, leading to stiff competition for business and skilled staff members. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/19/technology/how-tech-companies-disrupted-silicon-valleys-restaurant-scene.html\" target=\"_blank\">In an interview\u003c/a> with the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>, Delfina co-owner Craig Stoll admitted to posting Craigslist ads featuring pictures of dramatic butchery and pretty waitresses to attract employees). But the core issue is an untenable cost of living. It’s simply too expensive for someone to survive in the Bay Area on a sous chef, dishwasher or server salary--an issue that contributed to Oakland’s Actual Cafe and Victory Burger \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2016/12/16/bites-7-east-bay-restaurant-closures-announced/\" target=\"_blank\">recent closures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some defect to startups looking for people to make their catered lunches, and who could blame them: a steady, 9-5 food service position (with benefits!) that pays twice as much as their last restaurant job? Restaurants have always had to grapple with razor-thin profit margins. But now, they’re having to think like labor activists: how do you create conditions that allow your employees to survive? (Lazy Bear even flirted with the idea of \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2015/11/3/9667006/future-of-dining-panel-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">subsidized employee housing\u003c/a>). Many think that the city should do more, anything, to make things easier--to ease up on permit fees (a SF liquor license costs \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/2016/10/3/13150324/new-liquor-licenses-san-francisco\" target=\"_blank\">around $300,000\u003c/a>) or increase affordable housing--but progress is slow. Chris Pastena, who owns Chop Bar, Lungomare and Calavera, is Oakland’s largest private restaurant employer. But he recently told Hoodline that he’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.hoodline.com/2016/12/pastena-without-small-biz-focus-oakland-will-end-up-with-chain-stores\" target=\"_blank\">not going to open\u003c/a> any new restaurants until the city does more to encourage small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_109835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-109835\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Daniel Patterson in the kitchen of Oakland’s first LocoL.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/06/20160525_LocoLOakland_Daniel-Patterson-in-Kitchen_AudreyMa-1369-1024x683-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Patterson in the kitchen of Oakland’s first LocoL. \u003ccite>(Audrey Ma)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The rise of fast casual\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As restaurant owners see their friends and colleagues fail, they’re less likely to take risks.

"content": "\u003cp>It's a continuing paradox of the meat industry. Every year, more restaurants and food companies announce that they will sell only meat produced with minimal or no use of antibiotics. And every year, despite those pledges, more antibiotics are administered to the nation's swine, cattle and poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the latest \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm534244.htm?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery\">figures\u003c/a>, released this week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, antibiotic sales for use on farm animals increased by 1 percent in 2015, compared to the previous year. The increase was slightly greater – 2 percent — for antibiotics used as human medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA and other public health agencies have been pushing farmers to rely less on these drugs. Heavy use of antibiotics both in human medicine and in agriculture has led to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, complicating the task of treating many infections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the FDA finds a glimmer of good news in the latest figures, pointing out that the rate of increase has slowed. In the previous year, antibiotic use had increased by 4 percent, and a total of 22 percent from 2009 to 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poultry industry has made the most ambitious promises to reduce antibiotic use. Perdue Farms \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/10/07/497033243/perdue-goes-almost-antibiotic-free\">says\u003c/a> that 95 percent of its chickens already are raised with no antibiotics at all. Tyson Foods, the largest producer, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.tysonfoods.com/media/news-releases/2015/04/antibiotics-announcement.aspx\">announced\u003c/a> that it is \"striving\" to end the use of antibiotics that also are used in human medicine. Tyson will continue to deploy a class of antibiotics called ionophores, which can't be used on humans. The new report, however, doesn't shed any light on the impact of these moves, because it doesn't show how much of each drug is used on cattle, swine or poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, David Wallinga, from the Natural Resources Defense Council, said that \"this report further underscores how urgently we need more and stronger government action\" to reduce antibiotic use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ron Phillips, from the Animal Health Institute, which represents veterinary drug manufacturers, says that the FDA's data on drug sales tell us little about what's most important — whether the use of those drugs is leading to more drug-resistant bacteria. He says that another recent government \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm529719.htm\">report\u003c/a>, from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System, shows \"very encouraging trends.\" According to that report, bacteria found on meat at slaughter have not shown increasing resistance to most antibiotics in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some concerning trends, however. Some species of bacteria found on cattle have shown increasing levels of resistance to ciproflaxin, and turkey samples showed a big increase in Salmonella that's resistant to several different drugs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Every year, more restaurants and food companies announce that they will sell only meat produced with minimal or no use of antibiotics. And every year, despite those pledges, more antibiotics are administered to the nation's swine, cattle and poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the latest \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm534244.htm?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery\">figures\u003c/a>, released this week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, antibiotic sales for use on farm animals increased by 1 percent in 2015, compared to the previous year. The increase was slightly greater – 2 percent — for antibiotics used as human medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA and other public health agencies have been pushing farmers to rely less on these drugs. Heavy use of antibiotics both in human medicine and in agriculture has led to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, complicating the task of treating many infections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the FDA finds a glimmer of good news in the latest figures, pointing out that the rate of increase has slowed. In the previous year, antibiotic use had increased by 4 percent, and a total of 22 percent from 2009 to 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poultry industry has made the most ambitious promises to reduce antibiotic use. Perdue Farms \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/10/07/497033243/perdue-goes-almost-antibiotic-free\">says\u003c/a> that 95 percent of its chickens already are raised with no antibiotics at all. Tyson Foods, the largest producer, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.tysonfoods.com/media/news-releases/2015/04/antibiotics-announcement.aspx\">announced\u003c/a> that it is \"striving\" to end the use of antibiotics that also are used in human medicine. Tyson will continue to deploy a class of antibiotics called ionophores, which can't be used on humans. The new report, however, doesn't shed any light on the impact of these moves, because it doesn't show how much of each drug is used on cattle, swine or poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He says that another recent government \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm529719.htm\">report\u003c/a>, from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System, shows \"very encouraging trends.\" According to that report, bacteria found on meat at slaughter have not shown increasing resistance to most antibiotics in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some concerning trends, however. Some species of bacteria found on cattle have shown increasing levels of resistance to ciproflaxin, and turkey samples showed a big increase in Salmonella that's resistant to several different drugs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>This week, just days before he says goodbye to his job, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack landed one last punch in a brawl that's gone on at his department since he got there eight long years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He announced new \u003ca href=\"http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentidonly=true&contentid=2016/12/0263.xml\">regulations\u003c/a> that are intended to protect small farmers from mistreatment at the hands of meat packers, swine dealers, and poultry companies. Advocates for small farmers, including the Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA, \u003ca href=\"http://rafiusa.org/blog/usda-rules/\">praised\u003c/a> it as an important step toward ending abuses of power by the handful of companies that dominate the meat industry. The National Pork Producers Council, on the other hand, was furious, \u003ca href=\"http://nppc.org/white-house-issues-midnight-gipsa-rule/\">calling\u003c/a> Vilsack's move \"an apparent attack on rural America for its role in helping elect Donald Trump as president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sharply partisan reaction to the new regulations suggests that the new rules face an uncertain future. Some of them aren't set to become final until after Trump takes office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation has its roots in complaints by farmers about growing concentration of power in the poultry, pork and beef industries. A few big companies dominate each of those businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of poultry, the major companies typically rely on \"contract farmers\" who build and own the chicken housing, but depend on poultry companies to supply everything else, including the birds and the feed. Some of these contract farmers say that under these arrangements, they carry much of the risk, but have almost no power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contract farming has been on the rise in the pork industry as well. And in the beef industry, some farmers say they can't be guaranteed a fair price for their animals, because just four companies control three-quarters of the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, Congress asked Vilsack's agency to write rules to protect farmers against unfair practices in the meat industry. Later, though, after meat industry protests, Congress changed its mind and blocked any further work on the rules. Last year, that legislative dam broke, and Vilsack charged through the opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rules come in several parts. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.gipsa.usda.gov/federalregister/fr16/Poultry-Grower-Ranking-Systems-Proposed-Rule.pdf\">first\u003c/a>, which could takes effect almost immediately, makes clear that unfair, discriminatory, or deceptive behavior toward any individual farmer violates the law. Until now, some courts had decided that the law only prohibits behavior that reduces competition in the entire industry. Vilsack called that \"an extraordinarily high burden\" of proof for farmers to meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other rules \u003ca href=\"https://www.gipsa.usda.gov/federalregister/fr16/Unfair-Practices-Undue-Preferences-Violation-PSA-Proposed-Rule.pdf\">define\u003c/a> what those unfair, discriminatory and deceptive practices are. They include a requirement that companies share information about how they set prices and ban retaliation against farmers who complain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Pork Producers Council, in its \u003ca href=\"http://nppc.org/white-house-issues-midnight-gipsa-rule/\">statement\u003c/a>, said the new rules would have a devastating effect because they will increase the risk of lawsuits by farmers.

Advocates for small farmers, including the Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA, \u003ca href=\"http://rafiusa.org/blog/usda-rules/\">praised\u003c/a> it as an important step toward ending abuses of power by the handful of companies that dominate the meat industry. The National Pork Producers Council, on the other hand, was furious, \u003ca href=\"http://nppc.org/white-house-issues-midnight-gipsa-rule/\">calling\u003c/a> Vilsack's move \"an apparent attack on rural America for its role in helping elect Donald Trump as president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sharply partisan reaction to the new regulations suggests that the new rules face an uncertain future. Some of them aren't set to become final until after Trump takes office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation has its roots in complaints by farmers about growing concentration of power in the poultry, pork and beef industries. A few big companies dominate each of those businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case of poultry, the major companies typically rely on \"contract farmers\" who build and own the chicken housing, but depend on poultry companies to supply everything else, including the birds and the feed. Some of these contract farmers say that under these arrangements, they carry much of the risk, but have almost no power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And in the beef industry, some farmers say they can't be guaranteed a fair price for their animals, because just four companies control three-quarters of the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, Congress asked Vilsack's agency to write rules to protect farmers against unfair practices in the meat industry. Later, though, after meat industry protests, Congress changed its mind and blocked any further work on the rules. Last year, that legislative dam broke, and Vilsack charged through the opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rules come in several parts. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.gipsa.usda.gov/federalregister/fr16/Poultry-Grower-Ranking-Systems-Proposed-Rule.pdf\">first\u003c/a>, which could takes effect almost immediately, makes clear that unfair, discriminatory, or deceptive behavior toward any individual farmer violates the law. Until now, some courts had decided that the law only prohibits behavior that reduces competition in the entire industry. Vilsack called that \"an extraordinarily high burden\" of proof for farmers to meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other rules \u003ca href=\"https://www.gipsa.usda.gov/federalregister/fr16/Unfair-Practices-Undue-Preferences-Violation-PSA-Proposed-Rule.pdf\">define\u003c/a> what those unfair, discriminatory and deceptive practices are. They include a requirement that companies share information about how they set prices and ban retaliation against farmers who complain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Pork Producers Council, in its \u003ca href=\"http://nppc.org/white-house-issues-midnight-gipsa-rule/\">statement\u003c/a>, said the new rules would have a devastating effect because they will increase the risk of lawsuits by farmers. That increased \"legal uncertainty,\" according to the NPPC, will actually hurt small farmers, because more companies will decide instead to produce their own hogs, on their own farms, cutting small farmers out of the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether all of the rules will take effect.

Given this, it's impossible to discern how or if she will affect the culinary tone of the White House and the country at large—a role that typically falls to the first lady.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, food was on Michelle Obama's agenda before she got to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. According to Sam Kass, the Obama's former chef dating back to their Chicago days, the family was like all busy families — struggling to get healthy meals on the table for the kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The first lady carried a lot of stress about making sure their daughters were getting what they needed to be healthy,\" says Kass, who went on to spend six years working with both Obamas at the White House. \"That was the underpinning of where our approach and philosophies started to bond.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kass changed the Obama's diet—more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; less processed foods and desserts. As first lady, Michelle Obama passionately told her family's culinary story, especially how it benefited the health of her girls. She and Kass turned to broader health initiatives beyond the first family's table. They grew a vegetable garden on the South Lawn, launched the health and lifestyle initiative \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.letsmove.gov/\">Let's Move\u003c/a>,\" tackled school lunch reform and redrew the United States Department of Agriculture's food pyramid as a simplified icon called \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.choosemyplate.gov/\">My Plate\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113895\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap16280732883599-143e8e1d988b0eb87418e670ddcef64765e20d6e-e1481392398848.jpg\" alt=\"President Barack Obama is handed a pair of gardening gloves as first lady Michelle Obama, second from right, and NBA basketball player Alonzo Mourning, left, watch during the harvest of the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn White House in Washington.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113895\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Barack Obama is handed a pair of gardening gloves as first lady Michelle Obama, second from right, and NBA basketball player Alonzo Mourning, left, watch during the harvest of the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn White House in Washington. \u003ccite>(Carolyn Kaster/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kass recalls making the family dinner the night after the \"My Plate\" announcement. \"The First Lady came into the kitchen and said, 'So, we're asking everybody across the country to make their plate look like \"My Plate.\" Every plate coming out of this kitchen better look like \"My Plate.\"\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michelle Obama has arguably prioritized healthier national eating habits more than any other FLOTUS in history. Past first ladies have had a range of appetites for politicizing the national fork, and the era dictates the initiative. During the Great Depression, Eleanor Roosevelt oversaw a White House of culinary austerity (and infamously bad food). With the help of Cornell University's School of Home Economics, she devised seven-and-a-half-cent meals, designed for both nutrition and economy, and shared these with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and their guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn't about flavor,\" says National First Ladies' Library historian Carl Anthony. \"It was about simple, economic and nutritious. It was an important statement for that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleanor Roosevelt did have one defining culinary pleasure: She liked to cook scrambled eggs herself in a chafing dish that was brought to her along with the ingredients. The Roosevelt Sunday supper consisted of the first lady's eggs, cold meat, salad and dessert from the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113896\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2247px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e.jpg\" alt=\"Eleanor Roosevelt ladles soup into a bowl to help feed unemployed women in the Grand Central Restaurant kitchen in New York City in 1932 during the Great Depression.\" width=\"2247\" height=\"3000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113896\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e.jpg 2247w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-160x214.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-800x1068.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-768x1025.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-1020x1362.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-1180x1575.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-960x1282.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-375x501.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/12/ap321201016_vert-b97b874c14893867271461d438d65d75973e851e-520x694.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2247px) 100vw, 2247px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eleanor Roosevelt ladles soup into a bowl to help feed unemployed women in the Grand Central Restaurant kitchen in New York City in 1932 during the Great Depression. \u003ccite>(Associated Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After Eleanor Roosevelt's Depression-era austerity, Mamie Eisenhower defined efficiency and thrift during her White House tenure in the 1950s. As a military wife, she had managed the family's finances for years. She kept an account of leftovers, and if an excess of turkey was in the kitchen after a dinner, she'd order the chefs to make turkey hash. Her famous saying was, \"I could squeeze a dollar so tight, you could hear the eagle scream.\" She was also enamored with the innovations of her day—gelatin and all manners of frozen, boxed and canned foods.\" She wanted the White House kitchen staff to make full use of these things,\" Anthony explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1961, when Jacqueline Kennedy became first lady, she brought her impeccable taste for both French style and French food. She hired Gallic chef René Verdon to run the White House kitchen, banishing the bleak culinary era of previous administrations. Under Jackie Kennedy's instruction, White House menus were streamlined to three refined courses, including dishes such as poached salmon, rack of lamb and \u003cem>haricots vert aux amandes\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Jackie wanted to show the sophistication of the U.S. to the eyes of the world,\" Anthony says. \"In the Cold War we had come of age, and she felt that we must be considered equal to England, France and Russia.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes in the White House kitchen were often as dramatic as a change in political Parties or the difference in age between a sitting president and the incoming president-elect. The generational pass-off between grandmotherly Barbara Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton recalled the transition of the elder Mamie Eisenhower to a youthful Jackie Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Jackie Kennedy, Hillary Clinton came to the role wanting to revamp White House food. Unlike Jackie Kennedy, her mandate was American food and wine as well as healthful menus and a flourish of global flavors. She tapped an American chef named Walter Scheib from the upscale Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. For his audition lunch, Scheib cooked a pecan-crusted lamb with morel sauce and red-curried sweet potatoes, which got him the gig. \"It turned out that Mrs. Clinton's favorite meat is lamb,\" Scheib writes in his book \u003cem>White House Chef\u003c/em>. \"Her taste for spicy food made the curried sweet potatoes a big hit as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Food was of great interest to her,\" adds Anthony. \"She came into the White House with a plan to make that real sense of diversity and regional American food reflected in the nation's house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm-to-table frenzy had yet to peak during the Clinton White House era. But Hillary Clinton's kitchen was on the cusp. Though Scheib stayed on when the Clintons left, he was at odds with Laura Bush's simpler demands of the kitchen: ready-made spare ribs, smoked turkey breast and other prepackaged food. He left in 2005. \"The White House kitchen had become a more mundane place than I ever imagined it could be,\" Scheib writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can't say yet what will come after Michelle Obama's era. Will Melania Trump articulate a culinary vision? \"We presume that Melania Trump doesn't cook, but we don't know that,\" says Anthony. \"Maybe she's sitting in the kitchen with her mom and making goulash.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Anya Sacharow is the author of \u003c/em>Brooklyn Street Style: the No-Rules Guide to Fashion\u003cem>.

Past first ladies have had a range of appetites for politicizing the national fork, and the era dictates the initiative. During the Great Depression, Eleanor Roosevelt oversaw a White House of culinary austerity (and infamously bad food). With the help of Cornell University's School of Home Economics, she devised seven-and-a-half-cent meals, designed for both nutrition and economy, and shared these with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and their guests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn't about flavor,\" says National First Ladies' Library historian Carl Anthony. \"It was about simple, economic and nutritious. It was an important statement for that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleanor Roosevelt did have one defining culinary pleasure: She liked to cook scrambled eggs herself in a chafing dish that was brought to her along with the ingredients.

As a military wife, she had managed the family's finances for years. She kept an account of leftovers, and if an excess of turkey was in the kitchen after a dinner, she'd order the chefs to make turkey hash. Her famous saying was, \"I could squeeze a dollar so tight, you could hear the eagle scream.\" She was also enamored with the innovations of her day—gelatin and all manners of frozen, boxed and canned foods.\" She wanted the White House kitchen staff to make full use of these things,\" Anthony explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1961, when Jacqueline Kennedy became first lady, she brought her impeccable taste for both French style and French food. She hired Gallic chef René Verdon to run the White House kitchen, banishing the bleak culinary era of previous administrations. Under Jackie Kennedy's instruction, White House menus were streamlined to three refined courses, including dishes such as poached salmon, rack of lamb and \u003cem>haricots vert aux amandes\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Jackie wanted to show the sophistication of the U.S. to the eyes of the world,\" Anthony says. \"In the Cold War we had come of age, and she felt that we must be considered equal to England, France and Russia.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes in the White House kitchen were often as dramatic as a change in political Parties or the difference in age between a sitting president and the incoming president-elect. The generational pass-off between grandmotherly Barbara Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton recalled the transition of the elder Mamie Eisenhower to a youthful Jackie Kennedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Jackie Kennedy, Hillary Clinton came to the role wanting to revamp White House food. Unlike Jackie Kennedy, her mandate was American food and wine as well as healthful menus and a flourish of global flavors. She tapped an American chef named Walter Scheib from the upscale Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. For his audition lunch, Scheib cooked a pecan-crusted lamb with morel sauce and red-curried sweet potatoes, which got him the gig. \"It turned out that Mrs. Clinton's favorite meat is lamb,\" Scheib writes in his book \u003cem>White House Chef\u003c/em>. \"Her taste for spicy food made the curried sweet potatoes a big hit as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Food was of great interest to her,\" adds Anthony. \"She came into the White House with a plan to make that real sense of diversity and regional American food reflected in the nation's house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm-to-table frenzy had yet to peak during the Clinton White House era. But Hillary Clinton's kitchen was on the cusp. Though Scheib stayed on when the Clintons left, he was at odds with Laura Bush's simpler demands of the kitchen: ready-made spare ribs, smoked turkey breast and other prepackaged food. He left in 2005. \"The White House kitchen had become a more mundane place than I ever imagined it could be,\" Scheib writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can't say yet what will come after Michelle Obama's era. Will Melania Trump articulate a culinary vision? \"We presume that Melania Trump doesn't cook, but we don't know that,\" says Anthony. \"Maybe she's sitting in the kitchen with her mom and making goulash.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Anya Sacharow is the author of \u003c/em>Brooklyn Street Style: the No-Rules Guide to Fashion\u003cem>.
