FoodTravelUSA with Elizabeth Dougherty

Getting a Rental Car Lifehack - Renting a car used to be so easy.

You pick up the phone and call the reservation department of the rental car company you want to use.  You give them your info and when you arrive at their office, usually the car would be waiting.

Then everything was moved online.  So you'd type in all your info and if you were lucky, a car might be there.

Now it's 2021.  The rental car companies aren't purchasing new cars, blaming Covid lockdowns and restricted travel.  Algorithms are in place to favor one class of renter over another. Business travelers can easily located a rental car through special backroom corporate and fleet deals.  You, the regular guy (or girl) who wants to rent a car for a few days... well, you're SCREWED!

From the Food and Travel Nation Archives:  Elizabeth spoke with Dr. Paul Moller of Moller International which is bringing the concept of personal aircraft (flying cars) to reality.  

UPDATE: MOLLER INTERNATIONAL HAS BEEN DORMANT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, BUT THIS COMPANY IS SUCCESSFULLY MAKING AMERICAN FLYING CARS: KITTY HAWK

It starts off innocently with just a sprinkle of salt on your favorite food to "bring out the flavor" and over the course of time, a sprinkle just isn't enough.  The next thing you know, your cardiologist is telling you that you're facing heart surgery, your ankles are swollen, your kidneys are failing, and you're being handed dangerous prescriptions to "take the water off." It's LONG past time to take a look at what this silent killer is doing to humans and act promptly.  Recent studies show excess sodium is NOT coming from homecooking, but rather from highly processed grocery products and restaurant meals. 

Elizabeth Dougherty spoke the famed Professor Graham MacGregor about SALT... its effects on humans... and why it's URGENT that you put down the salt shaker.
