The show will feature Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemna, and Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness.

    Kathy Freston is on this week, I believe. And tomorrow's show is supposed to feature eating a plant-based diet!

    For the most part, I thought the episode was really great. Michael Pollan's comments were disappointing though since he seemed to negatively counter every positive vegan victory Kathy was celebrating. I couldn't watch the meat plant though. I earned my vegetarian badge long ago watching that stuff online. You tend to remember it vividly the first time! I've been thinking of being a vegan for awhile and this episode really helped me realize that it's a challenge worth pursuing!
