Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023 In celebration of National White Chocolate Day on September 23, 2023, we put several brands of white chocolatey goodness into the spotlight.  The competition was strong, and we came away with a split decision.  One winner walked away from the others based upon taste, the other winner claimed its prize based upon that smooth creamy texture. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023 On RV Tips & Tales, you'll hear about all the new, high-tech wizardry being packed into our coaches, but nothing is more important when you're on the road than a good first aid kit.  After all, you'll be away from your doctor, and in many cases, medical attention could be hours away.  So having the right supplies could be a life-saver. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

The TRUTH about Food and Travel
Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023

Putting aside the topics of food and travel, Elizabeth looks at the mess in Washington.  Both sides are pointing at each other and nothing seems to get done.  Is it time for something different? 

 On November 19, 1863 in his Gettysburg Address, President Abraham Lincoln noted:

"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

As we look around 150 years later, the federal government is neither of the people, by the people and it's certainly not for the people.

Is it time to make sweeping changes in our system of governance?  

Such changes would have to begin with a shutdown of the current system, and that's loomimg large on the American horizon right now. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023 Elizabeth takes us to a remote corner of Arkansas where you'll find the most unusual resort.  The Beckham Creek Cave Lodge bills itself as "a lodge like no other. A living cavern transformed into a high-end retreat, for those who seek adventure in style."

It's hard to argue.

This resort serves one party at a time in luxury... that just happens to be inside a mountainous cavern.

The TRUTH about Food and Travel
Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023 The World Health Organization is on the verge of declaring that the artificial sweetener Aspartame is indeed a carcinogen.  Yet, our stubborn FDA continues to stand by their pronouncements that the stuff is safe.  What's it going to take for consumers to realize that agencies of this corrupt federal government are NOT working in their best interest?  When will congress take action against this and other rogue agencies that put quarterly earning reports of big business ahead of the health of American citizens?  When will the revolving door between big business and the federal government be closed, stopping these obvious conflicts of interest?  When will the American taxpayer who fund these fedeal agencies, finally wake up and demand that their voices be heard on behalf of their children?

Just asking.

Oh by the way.  In the spring of 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services had to be forced by the judicial system to release the results of the 2022 National Toxicology Report that DHHS sat on for nearly a year.  That report showed fluoridated water has a negative effect on the cognitive skills and IQ levels in children.  Even with solid evidence proving otherwise, DHHS says that fluoride is safe.  Why is fluoride still being injected into the public drinking water supply? Has any agency of either the federal government taken action to protect the public?  Have any of the fifty state directors of health taken action to remove fluoride at the state level?   

Again, we're just asking because no one else seems to be doing so.

Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023 There's no easy way to say this, but it appears that some people, either at the airport or in planes, are losing their minds.  There's a level of fear, frustration and anger that's not been seen to this degree and it's very troubling.  website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023 Elizabeth has the latest travel news and quite frankly, the news isn't good.  Airline workers are threatening a strike over contracts that have not been renegotiated for over ten years. At the same time, there is growing concern that the US federal government will be shutdown on October 1st.  Travel experts say that while Air Traffic Controllers, Customs and TSA agents will stay on the job as they are considered "essential" workers, the industry as a whole could see losses of over $100 million dollars a day.  website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

Broadcast Date:  9/23/2023 Elizabeth shares the details of a company that's using high-tech, 3D printers to create something called salmon.  The finished product comes a lab and while it looks like salmon, it's NOT salmon.  Once again, big business is reaping big profits by perverting the concept of good stewardship over the land and sea, to dehumanize people and feed them something that's NOT food. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com

Broadcast Date:  9/16/2023 FULL SHOW:  The mayor of Chicago just introduced a plan that would place city owned grocery stores in areas hardest hit by crime that have been abandoned by commercial grocers.  This is a HORRIBLE idea and you'll hear why it should be stopped in its tracks.  Plus, should restaurants be forced to disclose whether they're serving you FAKE MEAT?  Elizabeth says YES!  We roll out the barrel  and celebrate Octoberfest and in our taste test, we try celebrity chef frozen Mac & Cheese. (spoiler alert: it doesn't end well for two of the three TV chefs)   It may not seem like it now, but the UAW strike against "The Big 3" could have a serious impact on holiday travel as rental cars might not be available.  You'll hear our worst Airline Debacles ever, and Elizabeth's Destination Unknown takes us to a small town in Oklahoma that's home to the largest private collections of guns in the world.
