A Chef's Table: The Easy Meal, February 14, 2008

If you eat out or use prepared foods - and who doesn't - you have to navigate the nutritionals. There are mine fields everywhere. Today, we'll discover amazing swaps that save fat and calories from the co-author of Eat This Not That. Michael Pollan defends our food supply and why we may want to reach deeper into our pockets for our next meal. And, we'll also have little bi-partisan fun in this election year and find out what Republicans and Democrats eat. Later, we visit Dafuskie Island, part of the Gullah tradition in South Carolina. And, a writer from Wisconsin tells us how she found her place at the New Orleans table. [Broadcast Date: February 14, 2008]
