Eating good, eating easy 2/26

Let's face it, we know better.

We know what foods are good for us and which ones are nothing but empty calories. Still, us modern humans tend to eat poorly and we're paying for it - with our health and pocketbook. In a recent article, past Here on Earth guest Mark Bittman asks whether we've reached a point where it makes sense to tax products like soda in order to decrease their consumption.

Today's show offers another solution. Guest Louisa Shafia with her new book, Lucid Food: Cooking for an Eco-Conscious Life, helps us do organic, seasonal and local so that it's easy, cheap and yummy.

We'll post a recipe from the book on Monday.
