Description:
Okay, so you may not have a “healthy” Thanksgiving meal, but with tips from the Green Docs it can at least be less-toxic. The food that is. The dinner conversations are on you. And you’ll have plenty of food-for-thought after listening to our interview with Ashely Ward, an expert in heat policy at Duke University, who teaches us why staying cool is a year-round job.
You’ll learn about the latest headlines including which applesauce packs to avoid over concerns about lead toxicity, new “old” techniques for mowing lawns, and can there really be a pregnant woman with twins… in two separate wombs?? Tune in for all this plus some seasonal mocktails using ginger and cranberry. You’ll be grateful you did. Thanks for listening and happy Thanksgiving.
