  • Too many times politics play a role

    Dr David Katz’s mention of Harvard and losing funding was blandly political and had nothing to do with the dietary guidelines. It’s laughable to claim this administration is overtly threatening. Having worked under Biden and Obama and its co-opting of the federal law enforcement agencies is again laughable. You as well as your guests have an agenda as everyone has an agenda. The propaganda and pushing of your own ‘“intel” is admirable but as usual not objective. All of us have biases but it whet... more

Hoping for a more nuanced perspective (for example, can someone afford meat from a local small farm vs vegan alternatives with many ingredients shipped all over the world? Or look up the horrors of sugar plantations that r... more

  • Wow! Totally Biased

    So disappointed that I had to listen to anti-Trump “scientists” purporting that SNAP limitations will cause more disease. Like seriously???? SNAP is a food subsidy not a junk food freebie.
