Most of us think we are immune to the effects of advertising, and media messages in general. But in fact, media exerts a powerful influence on how we think about our food and farming system. Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Robert McChesney, Ph.D., Gutgsell Endowed Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and co-founder of Free Press. McChesney will discuss advertising (commercial propaganda), money and politics as they influence our food and farming choices. The need for independent media and media literacy has never been greater. Produced by Dan Hemmelgarn.
