This week The Naturalist takes you on a historical tour of New York City's water supply. From the early days in the 1700s when the city got its water from aqueducts from Croton and the Catskill mountains to today's modern high-tech testing and treatment system. Learn what makes New York water some of the cleanest and best in the nation and how hydrofracking could ruin all of that. This episode is sponsored Roberta's Pizza.

"When you're out there talking to people and talking about something that's so positive and so good, it really amps you up. It's cyclical- you just pick up all the energy from all of these people. At the end of the day talking about kombucha, you are flying on cloud nine." --Jessica Childs on The Morning After

What do Hasidic weddings and foodiness have in common? Answer: they're both filled with awful food and gender segregation. Tune in to hear Erica Wides discuss why foodiness has decided to target genders separately in their takeover of the food system. Why should their be separate yogurts for men and women? Yogurt is yogurt! Listen in to hear Erica talk about some of the many "food" products that target traditional ideas of man and woman, and why they are so bad for you. Don't be a supersucker! Check out this episode of Let's Get Real! This program has been brought to you by Cain Vineyard & Winery.
"Foodiness marketers and makers are savvy, savvy people. They know what you think you want because they told you to want it!" [19:45]
"Food is for everyone! Food is for people, and foodiness is for suckers." [23:30]
-- Erica Wides on Let's Get Real
