On this Line One, guest host Lori Townsend and her guests, chef Amy Foote and Tara Lloyd, discuss the nuances of food as medicine.
Our bodies need fuel and the types of food we eat affect our physical and mental health. Food that reminds us of our family and traditions can be more satisfying and promote wellbeing.
What happens when we eat food that is highly processed and shipped to stores and restaurants from thousands of miles away compared to eating fresh, local food? How does choosing where your food comes from affect the local economy?
Guest host Lori Townsend and her guests, Amy Foote, Director of Indigenous Cuisine and the executive chef for NANA Management Services, and Tara Loyd, public health expert and executive director of the Alaska Farmers Market Association, explore the benefits of healthy eating for Alaskans and their families while helping local food suppliers. The conversation explores food security and healthy living. Lori Townsend is the news director and senior host for Alaska Public Media.
