Cooking connects people with their food on a personal, nutritional and even spiritual level. But it’s easy to drift away from your kitchen range when there’s an ever-growing freezer section in the grocery store. The trend is clear in a two-year-old study by the marketing group, NPD: there’s a steady decline in the number of people who say they don’t cook. For Native Americans, there’s the potential added loss of traditional practices. Should you spend more time in the kitchen?

Guests:

Teresa Jones – diabetes program coordinator at Yellow Hawk Clinic

Dr. Lois Ellen Frank (Kiowa) – chef and owner of Red Mesa Cuisine. She has a Ph.D in culinary anthropology from the University of New Mexico focusing on Native American cuisine

Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz (Tewa and Chicana) – natural foods chef and traditional herbalist

Students from junior high on up can’t tell the difference between fake news and the real deal according to a recent study from Stanford. Did you believe the story about the Pope endorsing Donald Trump? How about the one about thousands of wild buffalo suddenly appearing at the site of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest? How can we separate fact from fiction in all the digital detritus? Are we teaching our kids to ask the critical questions about where and who their information comes from?

Guests:

Dr. Jonathan Anzalone – assistant director and lecturer in the School of Journalism and the Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University

Bryan Pollard (Cherokee) – president of the Native American Journalist Association
