Chef Thomas Keller made a statement to the New York Times that sounded as if he was not hopping on the bandwagon to cook with more sustainable ingredients anytime soon and that it wasn’t his job to do so.
“With the relatively small number of people I feed, is it really my responsibility to worry about carbon footprint?” Keller asked. “The world’s governments should be worrying about carbon footprint.
Elizabeth Meltz, director of sustainability for Mario Batali and several other popular chefs, responded to Keller’s comment on Bay Area Bites, suggesting that even observing something as simple as Meatless Monday can go a great way towards preserving the planet.
