After Divorce and Plant-Based Dieting

Kathryn interviews writer and attorney Lara Bazelon, author of the recent New York Times article “From Divorce, a Fractured Beauty”. Bazelon describes her own unique experience of divorce and co-parenting. 'The decision to end a marriage is not about quitting. Divorce, at its best, is a love reborn — birthed from heartache and despair and ultimately, forgiveness — that creates a different kind of family.’ Bazelon's essays have appeared in the New York Times, Slate Magazine, Politico and the Los Angeles Times. Kathryn also interviews UNC faculty John J.B. Anderson PhD, author of “The Mediterranean Way of Eating: Evidence for Chronic Disease Prevention and Weight Management”. Scientific evidence validates the idea that a plant-based dietary pattern, such as the traditional Mediterranean way of eating, promotes health and plays an important role in risk reduction and prevention of chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers.
