How can you choose your foods to both sustain yourself and the planet as a whole? Today, we'll have two guests on to discuss ethical eating practices: Taras Grescoe and Makalé Faber-Cullen. Plus, the New Jersey primary; tracking behavior on the internet; and listeners call in about war memorials.

Behavioral targeting on the internet is nothing new. Companies have been monitoring your consumer behavior for almost as long as the internet has been around.

Makalé Faber-Cullen, director of programs at Slow Food USA and contributor to Renewing America's Food Traditions: Saving and Savoring the Continent's Most Endangered Foods, talks about the effort to preserve endangered foods by getting them on more dinner plates.
