Hosted by Sylvia Burgos Toftness · health · EN · 48 episodes
This show is about connecting the dots between what we consume and how it affects the health - of our environment, our bodies, our culture, and our economy. Every dollar we spend on food, clothes, health care, recreation, and building materials either supports pollution or clean water, worker poverty or economic health, nutrition or empty calories, and humane or cruel livestock conditions. Guests from across the country and around the world share insights for a healthier culture, lifestyle, and planet. There is hope. Let's be the change.
