Author Lisa Haushofer on empire, business and what's for dinner

from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore

The story of modern food is a fascinating tale captured in a new book by physician and historian of science, medicine, and food, Dr. Lisa Haushofer. Her research reveals the connection between nutrition with money, business, conquest, and colonization. The new book is Wonder Foods: The Science and Commerce of Nutrition. Haushofer makes a compelling case that the way we relate to food has been shaped by a variety of economic and geopolitical factors. Dr. Lisa Haushofer joins Tom to discuss the book.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
