Hi Everyone,

I hope you all got through this holiday season with minimum stress, lots of love, plenty of rest, and many delicious shared meals with friends and family! It’s always a challenging time, to balance the shopping and socializing, with time for reflection and quiet moments, but when you find that balance, it allows you to absorb all of the wonderful holiday energy, without getting caught in the materialistic rat race that tries to take over. I enjoyed every moment, but I am glad it is over! I am ready to welcome in the New Year, to start fresh, to set my intentions, and to continue sharing my passion for healthy cooking with anyone who wants to learn.

This week, my guest on the Progressive Radio Network is Joel Berg, the Executive Director of the New York Coalition Against Hunger. I first met Joel at his TEDx Manhattan talk this past year, and knew instantly that I wanted to have him as a guest on my show to talk about the problem of hunger in our city. His understanding of the root causes of hunger, as well as poverty, food insecurity, and obesity, has earned him the recognition as a national leader and spokesperson in this field. He is the author of, All You Can Eat: How Hungry Is America?, the definitive and most well-reviewed book on American hunger of the last decade. He is also the author of the book, America We Need to Talk: a Self Help Book for the Nation, to be published by Seven Stories Press in the Fall of 2016. It is my pleasure to welcome him onto my show, and I hope you can join us!
