Food policy expert Geoff Tansey interviewed me about my book How the World Eats and you can listen to it here. (Scroll down a bit.) https://t.co/QXEJjtivh3

The philosopher @JulianBaggini has something cooking, and not just cauliflower…

Looking forward to this talk in the lovely town of Wells next month. https://t.co/1KK1yBWX22

Tonight @stgeorgesbris! So soon after the US election result, I'm very curious to see how hard Cherry's feelings are. I think she's going to have a lot to teach us about dealing with it. https://t.co/PTAV27SxQv

Events Alert! Between today and next Thursday I'll be speaking in Bristol, Bournemouth , Edinburgh , St Andrews and Glasgow. I'd love to see you at one. All the details here. https://t.co/gLApDy15eJ

This is only “the closest US presidential election in decades” if the polls are right. In recent elections, polls have been wrong. Therefore isn’t it likely the result will not be as close as polls suggest? If so, one candidate will be a clear winner. I hope it’s the right one.

Really looking forward to this Philosophy Salon I’m part of next Monday 4th November at @stgeorgesbris with @JulianBaggini and Jesse Norman on what politicians owe us (we are a sort of Edmund Burke tribute band or discussion group).

Two Philosophy Salons coming up next week @stgeorgesbris with great guests @ThangamDebb Jesse Norman, @myishacherry & JoannaBurch Brown. We'll be discussing what politicians owe us and the positive value of negative emotions in politics. Book now! #Bristol https://t.co/70tyQLcu3Z

Next Monday @stgeorgesbris - @JulianBaggini Jesse Norman MP & I discuss the legacy of Edmund Burke, 18th century Bristol MP, thinker &writer. “What do politicians owe us?”. More details here 👇🏽 https://t.co/G7KJwiU9x9

How the World Eats review, Irish Times. 'Debunks myths aplenty... Baggini’s arguments are both readable and reasonable, which should find common ground across the food industry, whether you are a committed vegan or part-owner of a meat processing plant' https://t.co/dQh9dIKgjG

Absolutely agree that The Senators were a great band that by bad luck and circumstance just didn’t find their audience.

I remember my chat with Robert after my @WigtownBookFest appearance. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Worth it just for the other guests, TBH. @PenVogler's Stuffed is, well, stuffed with fascinating food stuff & everyone I met at Wigtown was swooning over @Hebridean_Baker

A few extra ticks to have been released for my sold out Philosophy Salon on How the World Eats @stgeorgesbris this evening. https://t.co/80m7Cjy6SV

Not yet it ain’t.
