The author and cook talks to Kate about what she remembers about fleeing her home in Cambodia at the age of nine, five years before the genocide; how the memory of her mother's cooking saved her life; why, and how, she decided to reclaim her family's recipes; and what brings her true happiness now.

For Chantha Nguon, Family Recipes Are a Lifeline

Professor Ashley Gearhardt, of the University of Michigan Department of Psychology, talks to Mark and Kate about why she's so addicted to studying the science behind ultra-processed food addiction, and how she got into it; how ultra-processed foods are different from beer or cigarettes (and how they're not); what differentiates people who get addicted and people who don't; and exactly how foods are designed to reel you in. PLUS: Food stylist Barrett Washburne talks to Kate about where the trends are heading.

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.
