The reality is, our kqed.org/ Western diet is ruining our health and our waistlines, interviews and the barrage of conflicting dietary messages gives us nowhere to turn. In Defense of Food airs Best-selling author Michael Pollan believes it doesn’t have to be that hard. Wednesday, December 30, at 9pm on KQED 9. Just in time for all those New Year’s resolutions to eat better, KQED, PBS and Kikim Media bring you the broadcast premiere of In Defense of Food, a two-hour documentary based on Pollan’s No. 1 New York Times bestseller. “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Michael Pollan’s seven-word solution might seem simple, but the journey to its discovery will take viewers around the world and deep into history. Travel to Tanzania, where members of the Hazda tribe still eat the way our ancestors did, and to France, where people enjoy better health despite the abundance of wine and cheese. Get magazine online: kqed.org/OnQ Along the way, Pollan shares scientific breakthroughs that have helped us understand the relationship between food and health, such as the mystery of breast milk, which is actually one-third indigestible. Pollan also cuts through decades of misinformation about diet, such as Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s idea that protein was bad for people and the “nutritionism” that led to products like vitamin-fortified Schlitz beer. What Pollan means by telling us to “eat food” is to eat what people ate before we became dependent on the highly processed products he calls “edible food-like substances.” Fortunately, simple changes can reverse the damage to our bodies and communities, and Pollan offers tools to help us counteract our tendency to overeat and our biological cravings for fat and sugar. He even addresses the holy grail of nutrition: getting kids to eat their veggies. Pollan is the John S. and James L. Knight Professor of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and an KQED.org award-winning author. His previous work includes The Botany of Desire, which KQED and Kikim Media presented as a two-hour documentary in 2009. In Defense of Food is made possible by the National Science Foundation and PBS. 3 News courtesy Christina Z. White/KQED.

    Fall 2008 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai P’94, P’96, Sc. D. ’94 Receives the Elizabeth Blackwell Award LAKEVIEWS Pride and Progress uring the course of the summer months we have the chance to review the past academic year while finalizing our plans for the next one. We take stock of our initiatives and review our progress toward our goals while laying out Dambitious plans for the year ahead. We have high aspirations for Hobart and William Smith Colleges – and a review of this past year gives us confidence in our ability to continue the momentum we have enjoyed in recent years. Consider some of the achievements of the academic year just concluded: • Our students continue to bring great honor to themselves and the Colleges with their success in winning prestigious national fellowships. In 2008, our students secured three Fulbright Scholarships, one Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and the Colleges’ first Morris K. Udall Scholarship. When you consider that in the past five years HWS students have won Rhodes and Gates Cambridge Scholarships as well as four Goldwaters and six Fulbrights, it says a great deal about the quality of our student body and the engagement of our faculty in preparing them for these competitive fellowships and scholarships. • With an impressive ratio of one faculty member for every 11 HWS students, our faculty engage our students with a lively and challenging curriculum and opportunities for significant research. This past year was a productive one with scholarship, publications and research grants totaling $1.5 million in government revenue. We currently have nine active National Science Foundation Awards and five nationally prominent research grants which allow students extraordinary opportunities to assist faculty members in their research.

    ABOUT THE Artwork Cover art based on William Blake’s “Newton” (1795–c.1805). Critical of reductive scientific thought, Blake portrays Newton as so absorbed by his compass that he is blind to the beauty of nature behind him, and by extension, to the world of creativity and art.

    YC Campaign Kickoff: 4 Days PROGRAM HIDE $1.6 Million AM 820 WNYC-TV FM 93.9 JULY 1 995 WNYC Independence S N It's My Y U tation! C AM 820 FM 93.9 From the Chairman... n behalf of the WNYC Foundation, I'd like to thank the many people who made the on -air 0kickoff to the WNYC Independence Campaign such a success. In just four days, we were able to raise $1.6 million toward the purchase of WNYC AM and FM from the City of New York, That's the largest on -air fundraiser in public radio history, and it was accomplished in half the time of a normal drive! I'd like to thank the many well-known friends of WNYC who joined us on the first morning of the drive for a press conference in the WNYC Rotunda. Scott Simon, host of the Saturday Weekend Edition, read the WNYC Declaration of Independence (as seen on the cover of the June program guide), while Delano Lewis, President of National Public Radio, presented a reproduction of the Declaration signed by dozens of NPR staffers. Following that, Itzhak Perlman, Bill Moyers, Sarah Jessica Parker, Willem Dafoe, Betty Comdem, Lorin Hollander, Werner Klemperer, Spalding Gray, Eugenia Zuckerman, Carol Wincenc, and Robert Krulwich each spoke from the heart about their feelings for WNYC, then signed a blowup of the Declaration. In addition, I'd like to thank all the people on the WNYC staff-on-air talent, producers, engi- neers, and managers from many departments-who labored long and hard to make this drive unique.
