Here and Now for Friday, June 6, 2008
Date: 06/06/2008 Thomas Shaw, the Episcopal Bishop of Massachusetts, just returned from a secret, week-long trip to Zimbabwe. While there, he witnessed the economic strife that has left the country with soaring inflation and sky high energy and food costs. Bishop Shaw comments on the violence unleashed by President Robert Mugabe against the opposition party in the run-up to the June 27th run-off election with Morgan Tsvangirai. The Bishop also says Anglicans are being targeted, with church property stolen and parishioners prevented from holding church services. As the UN wraps up a conference on high food prices, we rebroadcast a conversation with Michael Pollan, Knight professor of journalism at UC Berkeley and author of "Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto." Pollan explains how highly processed, high caloric foods are generally less expensive than simple foods. Each time you fill up at the gas station, you're paying a hidden cost called the risk premium. This is the cost oil companies Foneshow does not charge for this service, but standard or other charges may apply from your carrier. Please check your plan to make sure.
