With a commitment to staying healthy, sometimes it’s difficult to know how to shop and what products to trust - especially around the holidays! Conscious decisions - about what we eat and the quality of what we can afford - are more important than ever. Recent U.S. approval of GMO salmon underscores the point. Our guests, both live-food and food industry experts, join us to share their journeys, helpful tips, and ways to give - as well as point us toward healthier food - and eating. From personal choices to the larger issue of global food awareness, this program explores:

* the significant rewards of mindful eating and mindful cooking
* how healthy foods can still be “fast-foods” - even when you’re on the run
* how the food you eat affects more than just your waistline
* how at-home eating habits become a health legacy for children, and
* why social, environmental and economic issues relate to food everywhere
