\u201cHealthy food will have an impact on the world if we are capable to make it nutritious enough to matter, accessible enough to be everywhere for everyone, and desirable enough to be chosen,\u201d she said. \u201cThe issue with the food industry is that the big food manufacturers have created desire for product[s] that provide empty calories. They scale it, they spread it all over the world. We feed the world with fat and sugar at a low cost. \u2026 It hurts the planet, and it hurts the health of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
TIME executive editor and panel moderator Nikhil Kumar then asked Vikas Khanna<\/a>, a chef, author, and filmmaker, how he navigates making healthy food as a restaurateur. Khanna, who was on the 2026 TIME100 list<\/a>, talked about how, at his New York City restaurant Bungalow, he and his team have worked to make their food delicious, healthy, and sustainable.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s also an extreme stigma around ethnic cuisines not being healthy,\u201d Khanna said, but it isn\u2019t necessarily accurate. Much of Indian cuisine, he said, \u201cis based on the principles of Ayurveda and sustainability.\u201d And eating healthy doesn\u2019t have to come at the cost of authenticity. For instance, Bungalow has reduced the ratio of creams used in its foods. \u201cI do understand you adding 40% cream makes everything taste more delicious,\u201d he admitted, \u201cbut I want people to feel as if they\u2019re eating at home. I have never met an Indian who says that we use cream in our home cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHealthy food will have an impact on the world if we are capable to make it nutritious enough…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":623697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,282054],"class_list":["post-623696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-time100-talks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=623696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/623697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=623696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=623696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=623696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
