Earth Day, with Earth Warrior Bill McKibben

Coming to you from Nagasaki, Japan! Mark and his partner, Kathleen Finlay, talk to each other about their trip to one of Japan's school lunch centers, a place that serves 1,750 students and serves as an excellent model for what a progressive lunch program looks like: carefully curated and delicious menu, cooked from fresh and seasonal ingredients; made affordable for everyone; no time limit; a focus on service and community and making food a part of education. PLUS: More from food stylist Barrett Washburne, who talks to Kate about the laws around food styling and weird things that are done to foods — like supergluing a turkey.
