Bacon and eggs may not seem like the healthiest foods to eat, but the former head of the New York City Greenmarkets says they’re better than "industrial" food. Nina Planck makes the case and talks about her book, Real Food: What to Eat and Why. Plus: the Supreme Court’s end-of-term rulings promise controversy at least as heated as those of FIFA's World Cup referees and WNYC's Bob Hennelly gives the scoop on the private security company watching over the City's buldings.
