Host Cathy Erway is joined by investigative journalist Tracie McMillan who has just written The American Way of Eating, an expose of the myths that surround the working class and their food ways. Tune in and find out how by descending the class ladder a few rungs and working for over a year at different minimum wage jobs-- from the night shift at Wal*Mart to field work to the kitchens of Applebees-- McMillan has found that these ingrained food ideas are complete delusions and what you can do get more access to healthy food in your neighborhood.
