Anderson's Food Intervention

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Anderson spends the hour exploring why we eat what we eat, including the odd patterns many people have with food consumption. Anderson learns why he has a strange relationship with food, and for the first time ever in his life, he tries spinach, Brussels sprouts and coffee.

Anderson also speaks with one guest who has only eaten hash browns and French fries for the past 50 years. A nutritional therapist joins the conversation to help identify the different types of eater one can be, including restrictive, picky, avoider, vampire, fearful, liquidator and more. Anderson gives his in-studio audience a super taster test to see what kind of tasters they are.

Finally, Anderson is joined by Laurie David, author of “The Family Dinner,” who helps him launch the Anderson Family Dinner Challenge, in which one’s family has to cook and eat dinner together five nights in a row.
