Word of Mouth
Today on Word of Mouth, food shortages, skyrocketing prices and E. coli scares underscore the fragility of world food supplies. We talk to the author of “The End of Food” about just how vulnerable our global food system is. Also, colleges are mining student data to predict who’s most at risk of dropping out. Plus, we talk with a “seasoned traveler” who says older Americans should get off the tour bus and seek adventure now! And, scientists look to the salamander for clues for whether humans can re-grow limbs.
