  • We Need You!

    As a healthcare provider, I so appreciate your podcasts that address food from a health and …dare I say political!-perspective. If we think this current political environment is focused on our health and the good of citizens- we need to think again. We are ALL in this together, and we ALL need to start speaking up as citizens who care about the future of our nation. Thanks again for what you do!
