Mark Bittman on Reimagining America’s Food System
Longtime food journalist Mark Bittman says America's food system needs to be reimagined so land is used fairly and well and people have access to food that promotes health, not illness. His latest book, Animal, Vegetable, Junk: A History of Food, from Sustainable to Suicidal, shows how the frenzy for food has driven human history to some of its most catastrophic moments from slavery and colonialism to our current moment of Big Food. He speaks with Kathleen Finlay, president of the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming, about what needs to change so that agriculture doesn’t wreck the planet and healthy food is available to all. Presented by Aspen Community Programs.Listen

Breakthrough Surgeries and the Doctors Behind Them
Major innovations in surgery don’t come often, but two Mount Sinai doctors are credited for recent medical firsts in their fields. After twenty years of research, Dr. Eric Genden gave a new windpipe to a patient in the first ever tracheal transplant this Spring. With increased intubations from Covid-19, the procedure could save thousands of lives. Dr. John Puskas has made heart bypass surgery significantly safer through creative, less invasive forms of grafting. What is driving these breakthroughs, and what hurdles did these doctors face along the way? What should patients consider when they’re choosing a doctor for a big procedure? And how are doctors persistently challenging convention after so many years of learning established rules? Watch |
