The Last Supper

“Part his version of his chef-activist time in the Obama White House and part rousing call to action on climate change, The Last Supper is Sam Kass’s impressively compelling manifesto for food system transformation. Read it and get to work.”—Marion Nestle, professor emerita of nutrition, food studies, and public health, New York University, and author of What to Eat Now“My dear friend Sam Kass has always understood that food is about more than what we put into our bodies—it’s about our health, our families, and our communities as a whole. I’ve trusted Sam to help design national policy and nourish the people I love the most. Every step of the way, he has brought vision, urgency, and heart to the issues that fundamentally affect the way we live. In The Last Supper, he gives us not just a wake-up call but a real plan to strengthen our families and heal our planet. This book is smart, timely, and full of purpose.”—Michelle Obama“In The Last Supper, Sam Kass serves up a wake‑up call for the future of our planet. Equal parts urgent and hopeful, it’s a must-read playbook for the big bets and bold choices necessary to save our food system.”—Chef José Andrés

Sam Kass was senior policy advisor for nutrition policy in the Obama Administration and is currently an investor in several food technology start-ups.

He is a graduate of the University of Chicago and was trained by one of Austria’s greatest chefs, Christian Domschitz.
