WNED-TV Offers “Food for Thought” on Halloween Night


WNED public broadcasting offers some “food for thought” Halloween evening with two intriguing programs that offer a fresh perspective on healthy living and a better understanding of the food we eat.





3 Steps to Incredible Health! with Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
Oct. 31, 8 p.m. on WNED-TV
It’s not about willpower, it’s about knowledge! Obesity and chronic disease is a crisis plaguing America. More than 65 percent of Americans are overweight or obese -- and that number is growing just like our waistlines. In this practical, solutions-based program, Dr. Joel Fuhrman shares his revolutionary health plan ¾ it’s a healthy, effective and scientifically proven way to shed weight quickly and reclaim vitality and good health. 

NOVA scienceNOW  Can I Eat That?
Oct. 31, 10 p.m. on WNED-TV
What are the secrets behind your favorite foods? Why are some treats -- like chocolate chip cookies -- delectable, while others -- like cookies made with mealworms -- disgusting? You might think you understand what makes something sweet, salty or bitter, but host David Pogue gets a taste of a much more complicated truth, as he ventures into labs and kitchens where everything from apple pie to Thanksgiving turkey to juicy grasshoppers is diced, sliced, dissected and put under the microscope. If scientists can uncover exactly what's behind the mouthwatering flavors and textures we take for granted every day, could they help us enjoy our food more -- without packing on the pounds?
