We also welcome the Napa Coordinator for Yes on Prop 37, a ballot measure aimed to bring further transparency to food labeling and Californians "right to know" what's in their food and how it's been treated.
This week's show is live from Frati Gelato Cafe, where Gelato Master, Dr. Anthony LuPriore concocts the pure and delicious gelato on the Napa Waterfront. http://fratigelatocafe.com/

National Food Day
Food Day is a nationwide celebration and a
movement toward more healthy, affordable, and sustainable food. Food Day,
created by Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), is powered by a
diverse coalition of food movement leaders, organizations, and people from all
walks of life. Food Day takes place annually on October 24 to address issues as
varied as health and nutrition, hunger, agricultural policy, animal welfare,
and farm worker justice. The ultimate goal of Food Day is to strengthen and unify
the food movement in order to improve our nation’s food policies. Join this
push for a stronger, more united food movement by signing up to organize or
attend Food Day events in your community.
The foods we eat should bolster our health, but the contemporary
American diet is actually contributing to several hundred thousand premature
deaths from heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancer each year. What's more,
the way our food is produced is all too often harmful to farm and food workers,
the environment, and farm animals. The American food system has created a diet
of cheap, salty, overly processed packaged foods, high-calorie sugary drinks,
and fast-food made of white bread, fatty grain-fed factory-farmed meat, and
French fries.
Food Day aims to transform the American diet. It’s time
for America to Eat Real! All Americans—regardless of their age or race or
income or geographic location—should be able to select healthy diets and avoid
obesity, heart disease, and other diet related conditions.

About Prop 37
The purpose of this measure is to create and enforce the
fundamental right of the people of California to be fully informed about
whether the food they purchase and eat is genetically engineered and not
mis-branded as natural so that they can choose for themselves whether to
purchase and eat such foods. It shall be liberally construed to fulfill this
purpose.

For
nearly a century, The Model Bakery has been part of the Napa Valley culinary
scene, providing discerning and hungry residents and valley visitors the best
breads, pastries and coffee house at the original location on Main Street in
St. Helena. Karen Mitchell, once a successful caterer in the Napa Valley, has
been the proprietor of The Model Bakery for 30 years. Today’s Model Bakery
specializes in artisan breads made with organic stone ground flours and the
highest quality ingredients as well as a complete range of pastry products.
Karen's daughter, Sarah, works with her mother as managing partner of the
bakery and both are dedicated to authentic, artisan baking traditions.
In
January 2008, The Model Bakery opened its second location in the Oxbow Public Market,
incorporating state-of-the-art equipment and ovens to continue to create their
world-class breads and baked goods. Both locations also offer delicious, daily
breakfast and lunch specials for dining in or take out. In addition, the Napa
Oxbow location also offers a "late bake" - an afternoon bake of
signature breads for consumer purchase, and as a service for the region's best
restaurants.
Known
for their artisanal products, The Model Bakery sets the standard for such items
as the English muffin (featured on Food Network), chocolate “rad” cookies,
cinnamon morning buns, gargantuan luncheon pizzas and distinctive sandwich
combinations. With more than 17 varieties of breads in their daily baked
repertoire, The Model Bakery offers the most complete menu of options for
consumers and commercial operations to be found in the North Bay.
