One of my favorite podcasts is Jon Armstrong’s If You’re Just Joining Us . This episode he interviews Deborah Duchon, a nutritional anthropologist and it is utterly fascinating stuff. I highly recommend this episode.
Deborah Duchon is a noted nutritional anthropologist, teacher, author and speaker, best known for her work on the hit TV show, Good Eats. She served as director of the Nutrition Education for New Americans Project at Georgia State University, in Atlanta. These days, she is studying the exotic origins of everyday foods, by investigating their un-domesticated beginnings and working forward to the present day.
Deborah and I talked about onions, Hmong refugees, black night-shade, potatoes, theater, and women in anthropology.
Oh, I LOVE the episodes with her in them!
She was really fun, really knew her stuff, and so easy going. I want to be related to her!
I’m glad you enjoyed the show, Mary. Thanks for the nod!
