Mark Bittman Food Issues – Animal, Vegetable, Junk Part I

Mark Bittman’s (former NY Times columnist) latest book, “Animal, Vegetable, Junk,” traces humankind’s quest for nutrition, from leaves, roots, and carrion to agri-corporations and processed pseudo food.

In Part 1 we discuss the evolution of the unhealthy American food diet. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Radio Network.
