As the Founder and CEO of Foodnerd, Sharon Cryan’s personal mission is to shape the future of food by harnessing the power of sprouting and plant-based ingredients. She is committed to crafting products that boost health, wellness, and encourage self-love. Having grown up in Buffalo, NY in a large family, Cryan saw first-hand the chronic health challenges that faced her loved ones and set out to make a change through nutrition. Initially, Cryan put herself through law school, earning a Juris Doctor (J.D) from Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center in NYC. While taking on both law school and several part-time jobs, she turned to her diet to provide her with the energy to tackle her busy schedule. Her friends and classmates took notice, and she began preparing meals for them through a careful selection of nutrient-dense foods. After a brief stint practicing law, Cryan returned to Buffalo to start Foodnerd, a company dedicated to creating positively processed food with a purpose. Under her leadership, the company recently launched its first superfood product, OverNights - the first raw & sprouted overnight breakfast product available to consumers. Foodnerd is working alongside researchers and food scientists to understand and develop processes and foods that pack nutrients into tasty, convenient snacks and meals.In this episode Yoga Is Vegan's Holly Skodis and Foodnerd's Sharon Cryan discuss the following:Nutrient dense foodGovernment cheese and growing up in a low income householdEating organic vegan food on a low incomeEmotional eatingThe benefits of eating sprouting foodsIn Search of the Wild Tofurky: How a business Misfit Pioneered Plant-Based Foods Before They Were Cool by Seth TibbottThe benefits of sprouted foodsGet the latest nutritional science at nutritionfacts.orgDr. Neil Barnard and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine 2020 Virtual Cincy VegFest October 24 12 pm- 5 pm EST.

In this episode, Jorge Roig, Associate Professor of Law and Director of Neighborhood Programs at Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, discusses his article "A Quantum Congress," which was published in the Chicago-Kent Law Review. Roig begins by observing that democratic governance is failing: there is an irreconcilable tension between representative government and free speech, at least in our current system. But he proposes an alternative: lottocracy, in which representatives are selected randomly, rather than by voting. He explains why lottocracy will make corruption impossible and make government more representative. Roig is on Twitter at @ProfRoig. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Police play an indispensable role in our society. But the responsibility for keeping them accountable may lay with us, the people. In June 2013, documents leaked by Edward Snowden sparked widespread debate about secret government surveillance of Americans. Just over a year later, the shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, set off protests and triggered concern about militarization of law enforcement and discriminatory policing. In his new book, Unwarranted, Barry Friedman argues that these two seemingly disparate events are connected—by the failure of policing, from local officers to the FBI and NSA, to be accountable to the public. In recent decades, policing has changed dramatically. Technologies like CCTV and predictive policing software have made suspects of us all, while proliferating SWAT teams and militarized forces have put property and lives at risk—particularly for communities of color and the poor. The effects beg a critical realization for all of us: it's not a question of what the police should do, but what we want the police to do. Join New America NYC for a conversation with Barry Friedman, Sherrilyn Ifill, and Trymaine Lee on the contemporary debates about policing—and the call to better govern those who govern us.

Fuchsberg Professor of Law and Director, Policing Project, NYU School of Law Author, Unwarranted: Policing Without Permission Sherrilyn Ifill @Sifill_LDF President and Director-Counsel, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Trymaine Lee @trymainelee National Reporter, MSNBC and NBC News 2016 Emerson Fellow, New America
In June 2013, documents leaked by Edward Snowden sparked widespread debate about secret government surveillance of Americans. Just over a year later, the shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, set off protests and triggered concern about militarization of law enforcement and discriminatory policing. In Unwarranted, Barry Friedman argues that these two seemingly disparate events are connected?and that the problem is not so much the policing agencies as it is the rest of us. We allow these agencies to operate in secret and to decide how to police us, rather than calling the shots ourselves. And the courts, which we depended upon to supervise policing, have let us down entirely. -- The book's author, Professor Barry Friedman, the Jacob D. Fuchsberg Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, Professor Orin Kerr the Fred C. Stevenson Research Professor of Law at The George Washington University Law School, and John Malcolm, Director and Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies for the Heritage Foundation, joined us to discuss this new book. -- Featuring: Prof. Barry Friedman, Jacob D.
