Why does our government allow food companies to push unhealthy food, and what can we do about it?
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about startup companies pushing recycling of spent nuclear fuel to power next generation power plants, and the Supreme Court's decision to allow giant multinational mining companies to take over sacred land belonging to Apache tribes. Then nutritionist and author Dr. Marion Nestle talks about our food supply, what's wrong with it, and how campaign reform is absolutely required if we're ever going to fix it.
