Did you know that the FDA has approved genetically engineered salmon for sale to the public without an identifying label? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Valerie Segrest, M.S., Native American nutritionist, co-author of "Feeding the People, Feeding the Spirit: Revitalizing Northwest Coastal Indian Food Culture," and coordinator of the Muckleshoot Food Sovereignty Project. Segrest describes unique tribal relationships with food – how it is seen as mental, physical and spiritual medicine. And she explains how and why genetically engineered salmon violate tribal treaty rights, cultural identity, and pose risk to future generations. Don't miss Segrest's moving story about true nourishment: how she came to her community, and understanding the spiritual connection to traditional food and its ability to prevent and cure sickness. Produced by Dan Hemmelgarn. From the studios of KOPN-FM in Columbia, Missouri.
