Nina Planck
Nina Planck was born at home in Buffalo, New York in 1971 and was brought up on an ecological vegetable farm in Virginia. She started the London Farmers' Markets [6] in 1999, a company that now runs 15 farmers' markets in London, UK. She wrote The Farmers' Market Cookbook and Real Food: What to Eat and Why. In 2003 Nina Planck also was director of Greenmarket, the largest group of farmers markets in the United States. She is the founder of Real Food, which runs traditional farmers' markets for local food in Washington, DC.
She has recently gained notoriety due to a controversial editorial in The New York Times against veganism. The main premise of the piece was one in question and critique of vegan diets. The editorial was in response to the case of a vegan Atlanta couple who were convicted of murder and child cruelty in the death of their newborn son, whom they fed primarily soy milk and apple juice.
Nina Planck has a son, Julian, born October 24, 2006.[citation needed] The infant, Crown Shakur had never received conventional medical care.[1]
Ms. Planck‘s London Farmers‘ Markets sell, among other things, “organic & outdoor reared meat, game in season, dairy“ and fish,[2][3] and her Real Food Markets in the United States sell “grass-fed“ beef “and pork, poultry, and eggs.”[4] Her book on so-called “real food” (a phrase popularized in a series TV commercials for the beef industry) seeks to reassure readers regarding standard diets. The metatags for her webpage invited browsers to “Learn why butter and lard are good for you and corn oil and soy milk are not.”[5]
