Mario Batali says the next big “it” trend in food will be vegetables.

The chef who was previously known for his meats and grease has lightened both his physical load and recipe collection, with his latest cookbook, Molto Gusto, featuring more vegetarian meals he now is more likely to incorporate into his diet after losing 35-40 pounds.

Besides making vegetables the focus of the meal, Batali says people will be eating with principles.

“I think the next big thing in people’s mind is actually eating with a point of view, eating with an ideology,” Batali told Seattle Times. “It is all the things that we should be thinking about but we never had to because we are in the richest country in the world of all time. Now thinking maybe about spending a bit more for an heirloom varietal. Or a specific type of grown thing [that is] completely fertilizer-free.”
