Your Call 091709 Two Hour Special: David Kessler, then Ralph Nader

First Hour: Can the obesity crisis be solved by changing individual behavior?
Can the obesity crisis be solved by changing individual behavior? On the next Your Call we speak with David Kessler, former FDA commissioner under Presidents Bush and Clinton, about his new book The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite. Kessler brings together the disparate scientific studies that lay out a devastating case that the obesity epidemic in the United States is the result of food companies hooking us on food that makes us momentarily happy, very unhealthy and coming back for more. He has a plan to get us out of our addiction to hypereating.

Second Hour: Consumer advocate Ralph Nader
What if some of America's most powerful individuals decided it was time to fix our government and return the power to the people? On a special noon hour of Your Call, we'll have a conversation with consumer advocate Ralph Nader; he is out with a new book Only the Super-rich Can Save Us! In his new book of fiction, Ralph Nader explores the idea of what would happen if a cadre of "superrich" individuals focused on unionizing Wal-Mart, advancing clean elections, and improving the environment with alternative forms of energy. Join us live at 12 noon or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guest:
Ralph Nader, attorney, author, lecturer, political activist, and former candidate for President of the United States.
