Before this new episode of Meat + Three, we take a moment to remember Anthony Bourdain, who passed away today. Bourdain was in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning CNN series "Parts Unknown." His close friend Eric Ripert found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning (June 8, 2018). CNN reported that the cause of death was suicide. Bourdain was 61 years old. We send our love and condolences to his family, friends, and team at Zero Point Zero. If someone you know exhibits warning signs of suicide, call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255). Today's topic is water. On June 2nd, the World Health Organization and UNICEF released a report that 2.1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water at home. At HRN, our most vocal advocate for clean H20 is Katy Keiffer, host of What Doesn’t Kill You. Lately, she’s been jumping into the topic of water contamination in the heartland. We bring you excerpts from her recent shows that dive into the issue of nitrate-laced water in two farming communities. Rural areas are more affected by water pollution, but that doesn’t mean urban areas are immune to their own water woes. Hannah Fordin spoke to a reporter who just broke the story that hundreds of New York City’s water tanks could be contaminated. Our last story looks into high-end waters and what lengths bar owners and restaurateurs will go to find the perfect level of bubbles in their bottles. Love Meat + Three?

On this week's HRN Happy Hour, we are joined in-studio by Patrick Martins (HRN and Heritage Foods USA Founder), Emily Pontecorvo (HRN Intern), and Abe Shaw (Founder of Eating Tools). We swap weekend stories – from Kat's trip to KCBC for chamber music and beer pairings to Patrick's run-in with the law. Next up, a recap what's going on around the network: March 22 was World Water Day, and two shows focused on issues affecting water this week. On What Doesn't Kill You Episode 217, Katy Kieffer takes us to Des Moines Iowa, where the state Supreme Court just ruled against the local Water Utility in a pollution case. On Magnifeco Radio Episode 24, Kate Black speaks with Stiv Wilson about the dangers that microfibers pose to our oceans. Stiv championed the campaign to ban micro-beads and is now demanding that clothing companies take responsibility for microfiber pollution. On Eating Matters, Jenna Liut speaks with Dr. Reese Halter about the effects of our current agricultural system on bee health, including recent declines in the bee population, its devastating repercussions and what everyone can do to reverse this trend. Speaking of bees.... ICYMI, General Mills has temporarily removed “Buzz” the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee from their cereal boxes to raise awareness about colony collapse. They also launched a program, "Bring Back the Bees," in which they have sent more than 1.5 billion wildflower seeds around the U.S., aiming to build more bee-friendly habitat. There's just one problem: depending on where you are in the country, these seeds could be invasive species! To learn more about the complex relationship between wildflowers and bees (and other native pollinators), we speak to Miriam Goldberger, who runs Wildflower Farm in Coldwater, Ontario with her husband and partner Paul Jenkins. They grow, harvest and package wildflower and native grass seeds for online retail. She is also the author of the book Taming Wildflowers. After a quick break, Emily Pontecorvo fills us in on the latest bovine news. Americans are eating way less beef, and we find out from Patrick if he's seen any affects of this trend at Heritage Foods USA. Also, cattle farmers in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado are tragically losing their herds and property in the massive grass fires – it's so bad that they're calling it their Hurricane Katrina. This is a natural disaster in the heart of Trump country (83% voted for him in Clark County, Kansas), and he hasn’t even acknowledged it. Next up, Emily gives us the 411 on NY's 0x30 program, part of Mayor DiBlasio's commitment to send zero waste to landfills by 2030. The Department of Sanitation is expanding their organics collection program to serve every New Yorker by 2018. To date, over 23,000 tons of organics have been diverted from landfills in the city. Earlier in the day, Kathryn Garcia, the Commissioner of the Department of Sanitation in NYC, announced a new expansion of organics collection to several Brooklyn Neighborhoods. Emily plays us a clip of the announcement, which was made in a community garden in Williamsburg called La Casita Verde. Finally, we hear more from Abe Shaw about how he started Eating Tools and about the unique utensils and cooking tools they offer. Abe explains how anodized titanium makes the most colorful and strong chopsticks and what he looks for when choosing a knife to use in his home kitchen. We end the show by playing a round of "utensil trivia," and it's no surprise that Abe knows his stuff when it comes to eating tools! Our theme song is “Suns Out Guns Out” by Concord America.
In this very important and very timely episode of Straight No Chaser host Katy Kieffer talks with farmer Jim Gerritsen who is the President of the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, which is currently battling the agriculture giant Monsanto in federal court. Learn how this group of farmers is seeking protection from contamination of their crops by Monsanto transgenic (GMO) seeds by litigating in the very complicated the arena of patent law. Find out what exactly is at stake not only for farmers but also the state of U.S. patent law as a whole when the verdict is handed down. This insightful episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons “What we’re going to the court for is to try and receive court protection from abusive behavior from Monsanto. . should we become contaminated by Monsanto seeds, not only do we suffer harm by the contamination of our crops, but in a perverse situation Monsanto’s view is that we possess that technology through that cont episode and we would be liable for patent infringement.” “Part of our argument will be that transgenic agriculture, or commonly known as GMOS, that these lack ‘social utility’ ” “The expectation of the [organic seed] market is that good quality organic seed is free of GMO content. So if our crops become contaminated by GMO their value becomes extinguished with that contamination and that obviously then threatens our livelihood.” –Jim Gerritsen on Straight, No Chaser
