The chef and activist José Andrés stopped along the way to star in the new chapter of the podcast Stay to Eat. He told us about cooking and World Central Kitchen; about his parents and how they inoculated him with the cooperative virus; of the differences between suffering the effects of natural disasters or hatred between peoples.
Andrés warned that conflicts and climate change, which must be urgently stopped, will generate massive migrations in the coming years and there will be few habitable places left on the planet. He also reminded us that we can put up walls to feel safer among those who do not seem like us, but what happens on the other side will sooner or later end up affecting us.
