The Food We Eat

These Days Series

For most Americans, food is abundant, relatively cheap, and accessible 24 hour a day. But how much food, and what kind of food, do humans need to be healthy? And what impact has our love affair with vast quantities of fast, processed foods had on our planet? In this special series, we'll explore the history and physiology between people and food, we'll dispel myths about health and nutrition, and we'll discuss ways to enjoy food like beef and fish in environmentally sustainable ways.
