Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE:●   [04:51] How did Rachel get started in health and food sustainability?●   [08:48] Rachel provides a summary of The China Study.●   [10:35] How does our food system work in the US? ●   [13:38] How does our farming affect the nutrients in our soil and our food?●   [15:27] How do the antibiotics injected into our meat affect our health? ●   [18:35] Is animal protein the best protein for us? ●   [23:30] Can a single household impact the food system?●   [27:28] What are some simple ways to transition from animal products to plant-based foods?●   [30:07] Why is it essential to reduce animal products in our diets?●   [34:27] What are some trustworthy resources? KEY TAKEAWAYS:●   More land is used to grow feed for animals than for people. If the grain fed to livestock in the US alone were provided to people, 840 million additional people could be fed.  ●   There are 5-7 leading conglomerates running the food system in the world and two main chicken companies controlling all the chicken in the US. This is affecting food all around the world. ●   Choose 2-3 meals to start with and look for plant-based options that can be really inexpensive and made with things you have at home. Our taste buds change after two weeks - so stick with it, and you'll find that you enjoy and crave the natural food rather than processed food. QUOTES: “You can add animal protein, and there's a certain point where you can turn on cancer growth, and if you take that animal protein away, you can stop that cancer growth.” - Rachael Brown“We don't need the meat; if you want the meat, that's a different thing. If you can find it from a clean source, somewhere that's not putting antibiotics into their meat but arguably there's not a lot of that out there.” - Rachael Brown“For the most part, we're wanting to base our diet, what we eat, on these whole, plant-based foods, and those things look like real foods.” - Rachael Brown"Think big picture, think about the food systems and then act on the micro level. Start with your own plate and your own home because when we all do this, we can lock arms to make a bigger shift both in industry and for our planet." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES: For Fork's Sake Book WebsiteFor Fork's Sake Book IGFor Fork's Sake Book FBGUEST BIO:Rachael J.

Steve Scher talks to producer, actor and activist Kathy Najimy about women and body image. Powerful forces are at work shaping our body image.  Self-esteem, family norms, peer group pressures and the media all influence our feelings about our own bodies. Actor, activist and producer Kathy Najimy wrapped up the UW’s Weight and Wellness lecture series with a talk on “Women and Body Image,” based on her personal story and her years working in Hollywood. Named one of Ms. Magazine's 'Women of the Year’ in 2004, she is producing a new HBO series based on Ms. Magazine and the work of Gloria Steinem and the feminists of the 70’s. In the 80’s, she co-wrote and co-starred with Mo Gaffney in the Obie award winning feminist comedy hit, “The Kathy and Mo Show.”  Two productions were later broadcast on HBO. Kathy Najimy’s breakthrough role was as Sister Mary Patrick in the 1992 Whoopi Goldberg film, “Sister Act.”  She has gone on to a highly successful career on stage, screen and television in a wide variety of roles.  For 14 seasons she was the voice of Peggy Hill on the award winning animated series “King of The Hill.”  She co-starred with her idol Bette Midler in the movie “Hocus Pocus.”  She was back on the New York stage in 2014 with her one-woman show, “Lift Up Your Skirt.”  She is currently on HBO's "Veep," and has been cast in a new TV series as a police chief.  She has spoken around the world on issues affecting girls, women, LGBTQ, as well as animal rights and AIDS prevention.  She has won numerous awards and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.  She earned some of the money as a formidable TV game show player and as a poker champion.  Support for the lecture series comes from the University of Washington Alumni Association, The Graduate School of Public Health,Support for At Length with Steve Scher comes from the UWAA.  

 We swim in a sea of chemicals. Some of them are harming our environment, some are harming us. In part two of Steve Scher's conversation with scientist Bruce Blumberg, we hear more about the science of hormone disrupting chemicals, what action the regulatory agencies are taking and whether an approach called green chemistry could keep suspect chemicals from ever entering the environment. Professor Bruce Blumberg spoke at the University of Washington in May 2015, part of the Weight and Wellness series at the UW.Find more interviews on iTunes and Stitcher and at here too.Support for At Length with Steve Scher comes from the University of Washington Alumni Association. and the UW Graduate School.

Steve Scher talks with Professor Bruce Blumberg about obesogens, hormone disrupting chemicals that seem to change human metabolism.   We eat too much.  We eat too much processed foods high in calories. We don’t exercise enough. It is being called an obesity epidemic, and it is putting more and more people at risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other conditions at ever greater numbers around the world. But something more than our own actions seems to be at work resetting our bodies systems that regulate weight gain and loss.Bruce Blumberg, a developmental biologist and a molecular endocrinologist, coined the term 'obesogens' in 2006 after he discovered that exposing pregnant mice to a chemical compound call Tributyltin made their offspring heavier than those not exposed-- even when they are on a normal diet. His lab is at the University of California, Irvine.Scientists now know that fat tissue acts as an endocrine organ, releasing hormones related to appetite and metabolism. A rising number of manufactured chemicals bind to the same receptors as the hormones and either prevent proper actions by hormones or activate them in the wrong place and the wrong time. These Chemical “obesogens” may alter human metabolism and predispose some people to gain weight.  Studies show that obesity is strongly linked to exposures to risk factors, such as hormone distrupting chemicals, during fetal and infant development. Blumberg found that exposure to tributyltin predisposes lab animals to make more and bigger fat cells.  The insidious thing, Blumberg says is that animals exposed in utero to TBT are permanently affected  Professor Bruce Blumberg spoke at the University of Washington in May 2015, part of the Weight and Wellness series at the UW. Find more interviews on iTunes and Stitcher and at here too. Support for At Length with Steve Scher comes from the University of Washington Alumni Association. and the UW Graduate School.

 Nancy Pearl tells Steve Scher she has become intrigued by a few new memoirs. Sometimes she finds the writing in memoirs swinging a little too close to wince-worthiness.   But of course, the genre is also capable of producing truly memorable stories.  Nancy enjoyed a new work by Roger Cohen of the New York Times,  "The Girl From Human Street: Ghosts Of Memory In A Jewish Family."  It never descends into pathos. Also, Kate Moses, “Cakewalk: A Memoir.” She says it’s a lovely book where each chapter ends with a recipe. Just a few of the other books we discuss.Daniel Mendelsohn “The Lost: A Search For 6 among Six MillionBlaine Harden’s “Escape from Camp 14”Will Schwalbe “The End of Your Life Bookclub.”Haven Kimmel  “ A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Moreland Indiana”Wes Moore, "The Other Wes Moore” Ann Hood, “The Obituary Writer”Roger Lipsey, “Hammarskjöld: A Life”John Marzluff, “Subirdia “Charles Emmerson, "1913: In Search of the World Before the Great War”‪Our sponsor this week is another podcast Steve is producing.

Dolores Huerta still fights for farmworker families.  Well into her 8th decade, she is training the next generation of leaders to carry the cause forward.  The former teacher and long time community organizer was awarded the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor awarded in the United States, by another community organizer, President Obama.  Huerta and Cesar Chavez were co-founders of the United Farm Workers.  Dolores Huerta has pushed and prodded mayors, governors, senators, even presidents for new laws, but her focus remains on the grassroots.  She is re- energized each time she can get new street lights for a neighborhood, more people registered to vote, better representation on schools boards.  Support for At Length is provided by the University of Washington Alumni Association.
