Rates of childhood cancer, asthma, obesity and other diseases are rising at an alarming rate. What can we do?
This week, Patti and Doug talk about testing drinking water for microplastics, a big court victory for residents of Cancer Alley, and how schools are unprepared to meet new HHS food pyramid guidelines. Then pediatrician and author Dr. Michelle Perro talks about what worries her most about children's health, the importance of good nutrition, and steps we can take together to improve outcomes for our kids.
