November 21st on Meet the Bloggers
Today's Episode has been pre-recorded so there will be no live blog during the show. You can watch "What we eat is making us sick!" in the player on this page right now. The next episode of Meet The Bloggers will be in two weeks, Friday December 5th. See you then! Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
Obesity is on the rise and Type 2 diabetes cases nearly doubled in the last 10 years. For the first time in decades, the life expectancy of children born in this century is actually lower than their parents. What's the number one culprit in this crisis? Food. Meanwhile, food safety is spotty. The U.S. lacks a comprehensive "farm to table" food inspection process. That's why the Centers for Disease Control estimates there are 76 million cases of food borne illness each year!
What we eat is making us sick! To find out why -- and what we can do about it -- join food scientist Marion Nestle this Friday on Meet the Bloggers. Nestle is the author of What to Eat and a professor in the Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health Department at New York University. We'll also chat with filmmaker Catherine Gund, director of the upcoming documentary What's On Your Plate?, along with the two young subjects of her film, 7th graders Sadie Hope-Gund and Safiyahi Riddle. Then blogger Kerry Trueman (Huffington Post, Eating Liberally) shares some not-particularly-appetizing information about the traditional holiday turkey, and we'll visit our local farmers' market to learn why we should eat locally and seasonally.
The next episode of Meet the Bloggers will be available beginning Friday, November 21. Check out some of the articles below and fight the food policies that have failed us with your knife and fork!
