I am continuing to collect information about the history of the Newspaper Food Editors and Writers Association. I came across this article about their 1978 meeting. At the gathering, speakers focused on the future of food.

This is the lead: “Science fiction generally paints a bleak picture of food in the year 2001: daily doses of little red vitamin pills and tasteless chemical mixtures, or diets of sautéed mealworms, crunchy crickets and vegetable-protein concoctions.”

I am planning a conference paper about the group and food editors Peggy Daum and Ann Hamman. Understanding the food sections adds to journalism and culinary history.
