The end is near on this episode of Let's Get Real. Erica Wides is talking about the apocalypse, and how our entire food system is reliant on the grid. When a blight destroys all of our crops because of a lack of genetic diversity, how are we going to eat fruit snacks or yogurt in a tube? Solar flares, crop failure, and irradiated food are all very possible, if not probable, causes for the end of society as we know it. What to do next? Erica gives some helpful tips on how to survive an apocalypse (hint: eat your next door neighbor). This program has been brought to you by Whole Foods.
"The point is that even my culinary students who sign up and pay a lot of money to got to school to have me teach them how to be chefs are utterly clueless as to where their food comes from. It's like going to medical school and being shocked that medicine actually has something to do with human bodies." -- Erica Wides on Let's Get Real

This week on Let's Eat In Cathy sits down with Erik Michielsen and Andrew Osborne of Capture Your Flag, a new kind of website that combines a video database with a sort of networking platform. Capture Your Flag's goal is to put thinkers and do-ers in the spotlight, with a focus on those who are up-and-coming rather than at the top of their respective field. The premise is that people who are working to get their voice heard often have as much if not more to say than those who are already heard. This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
