EcoRadio KC is glad to encourage awareness and protection of our world. Our goal is to ensure our listeners are aware of how we can create a sustainable present for a sustainable future! It will take us all to make the world safe for habitation for millennia to come. This will be a great radio hour!
Today, our topic is FOOD! We are well aware that at the time of our broadcast, most of our listeners are either preparing food, eating or otherwise thinking about food. We view ecology as the study of the relationships between living organisms, and their physical environment. Ecology seeks to understand the vital connections between plants and animals and the world around us. Food is vital to our existence. Food and ecology are inextricably linked, both in producing domesticated food through agriculture and livestock and in harvesting wild plants and animals.
Let’s consider, are we creating food and preparing it in a way that sustains our best health outcomes? Is healthy food easily available to each of us?
We begin with the most recent Food Sleuth Radio, where Dietitian Melinda Hemmelgarn helps listeners connect the dots between food, health and agriculture, and find food truth. Her guest is Chef Sean Sherman, a.k.a. the Sioux Chef. His award-winning restaurant, Owamni, in Minneapolis, MN features decolonized foods. Chef Sherman discusses the meaning of colonization and describes his mission to develop and promote Indigenous foodways throughout North America.

In the second half of our hour, we will play recent podcasts from our own local, Aunt Lainie. Her food stories are cultural, modern and loving. Lainie talks about sharing food with others at sports events and holidays. Thank goodness for Lainie, explaining how easy and important it is to give and share food with others. Food is our common language of love and sustenance.
We support the work for a future in which humans flourish as members of a thriving ecosphere. We are all in this together and it will take all of us to make the world safe. This will be a great radio hour!
