This week, Angelina and John dip into food lit, revamped restaurants, and ethical quandaries - all in the name of plant-based eating.

Atop Angelina's recent reading lists are Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, ruminations on how we perceive of what we eat, and Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, in which she reflects on her family's year of producing all their own food. Topics brought up in these food politics books also tie in with a variety of TVA-sponsored health talks and how-to events coming up in the near future.

Kensington Market is on everyone's mind at the RC today. Angelina has recently rediscovered Hibiscus, a cozy, mostly vegan eatery on Augusta that serves delicious buckwheat crepes and exotic homemade non-dairy ice creams. Ask for the experimental rice cheese! John has noticed that King's Cafe is hopping in the first weeks after its recent renovations. As well, he interjects ethics into the podcast discussion with two tales of dietary profiling.
