Feast Your Eyes

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Junk food is often much cheaper than health food. Adam Drewnowski of the University of Washington explains why he thinks that obesity in America may have as much to do with economics as genetics. Next, we’ll hear from Fran Capo, the world’s fastest-talking woman. Then, Robert Krulwich tells us about some of the recent scientific breakthroughs he explores in a new tv series on PBS: NOVA scienceNOW. Finally, in our regular Please Explain feature, we look at how eyes work. How does the eye take in information? And how is light translated into images?
