Great News... the safety of Aspartame is FINALLY being questioned. You'll hear the latest during our news segment, and then later in the show from the Food & Travel Nation archives, an interview that spells out that this substance should NEVER have been allowed in the food supply. Elizabeth shares in-depth research about another substance that must be examined called carrageenan with links to cancer. You'll also hear an amazing recipe for making your own ice cream. (that doesn't contain carrageenan) We tackle the issue of people taking their regular pets into grocery stores, and in our taste test, in honor of National French Fry Day, we visited four fast food restaurants and found a surprising winner. In our Airline Debacles, the story of a young man who was traveling alone for the first time and now faces a ban from the airline. In our RV Tips, three MUST have items when it comes to keeping the lights on (and air conditioning!) Elizabeth shares the story of a cruise ship carrying marine researchers that encountered an abhorant practive of whale killings, and in our Destination Unknown, a visit to an air museum featuring the Concorde.
