Jan. 6 Hearing Preview; 30 Issues: 'Healthy' Food, Nutrition and Access; 51 Council Members in 52 Weeks: District 40, Rita Joseph; The News From Your Block

Coming up on today's show:

• Quinta Jurecic, fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, senior editor at Lawfare and contributing writer at The Atlantic, previews what is likely to be the final January 6th committee hearing. Then, Matt Katz, WNYC public safety correspondent, talks about local law enforcement connections to the Oath Keepers, as the trial for certain members of the group continues.
• The FDA has proposed new standards for food to qualify for its "healthy" seal of approval. Marion Nestle, professor emerita of nutrition, food studies, and public health at NYU and the author of many books, including her latest, Slow Cooked: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics (University of California Press, 2022), talks about the changes, how the food industry is heavily invested, plus how food insecurity and access to healthy food play into these decisions.
• The majority of the New York City Council members are new and are part of a class that is the most diverse and progressive in city history. This year, Brian Lehrer will get to know all 51 members. Today, Councilmember Rita Joseph talks about her priorities for district 40, which includes parts of Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Flatbush, Kensington, Midwood, Prospect Park South, and Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn.
• In the age of the 24-hour news cycle and global hyper-connectivity, we're often inundated with news that feels far away from daily life. To combat this, listeners call in with hyperlocal stories.
