Choice Subjects

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

On today’s show, Ruth Reichl and food writer Michael Pollan explore how we decide what to eat. Then, chef Daniel Boulud and sommelier Daniel Johnnes explain why box wines can be a good option for wine lovers. And Michael Drinkard describes his new novel set in New York during the Revolutionary War. Plus: a panel of poets discuss what makes American poetry distinctive.


What's For Dinner?

Food options nowadays can be really confusing--should we choose organic, free range, locally grown, low-carb....or just what we can afford? Ruth Reichl and Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, examine the food choices we make, and their consequences.
