In this hands-on manifesto, Ramirez, host of The Kitchen Activist podcast and author of Eat Less Water, encourages readers to prepare meals in ways that lower food waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Explaining that home kitchens are the largest source of food waste, she asserts that meal planning is “the heart of kitchen activism.” Not only does it help prevent waste, contributing to planetary health, it also saves money and relieves people of the pressure of figuring out what to eat at the end of a long day.
