Think there’s no connection between the food on your plate and water pollution and ocean dead zones? Think again. Philippe Cousteau, grandson of the legendary Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, joins us to discuss his new education program for middle and high school students, which is designed to help them make informed decisions about what they eat, based both nutritional value AND environmental impact. The program references the award-winning documentary, Food, Inc., and includes free teacher’s guides and student worksheets intended to help kids understand how modern food production works, and how their food choices can influence the industry. On today’s episode, we will also be joined by the co-author of Philippe’s new guide: What’s on Your Fork? A Campaign for Meatless Choices, Cathryn Berger Kaye, who is a renowned service learning expert, author and speaker.
