Original Air Date: July 9, 2018 New York Times best-selling author and food expert Michael Pollan discusses our evolving relationship with food, what it means to eat with a fuller consciousness and how having a heightened awareness of the food that goes into our bodies can improve our physical and spiritual well-being.

In light of that connection, Michael says mealtime is an opportunity to express what we believe in and learn about others' values as well.
