Mark Bittman on Cooking Vegetarian
The New York Times's Minimalist Mark Bittman is an avowed meat eater. But he’s just released a new meat-free cookbook, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. Mr. Bittman says that vegetarians, omnivores, and carnivores alike can enjoy his meatless recipes. He joins Leonard to share recipes like Green Tea with Udon Noodles and Braised Tofu in Caramel Sauce.
Weigh In: This question is for the meat eaters: what's your favorite 100% vegetarian meal?
Please Explain: Acupuncture
Most experts agree that acupuncture is safe, but does it work? And what is the circulation of Qi, the meridian system, and the five phases theory? Find out all about acupuncture on today's Please Explain. Leonard is joined by Dr. Richard Hammerschlag, Neurobiologist and Dean of Research at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, and Martin Feldman, Acupuncturist and Instructor at the New England School of Acupuncture.

Please Explain: Eco-Labels
The Leonard Lopate Show
Your broccoli, shampoo, and air conditioner might bear labels declaring them to be organic, cruelty-free, or energy efficient, but what do those labels mean and are they true? Dr. Urvashi Rangan, Project Director for Consumer Reports' GreenerChoices.org and Consumers Union’s Senior Scientist for Policy Initiatives, and Dara O'Rourke, founder and CEO of GoodGuide.com, took a look at what eco-labels indicate, how standards are set, and what they mean for consumers and manufacturers around the world.
