It's not you — it's us. 😰 The broadcast and stream for both KCUR 89.3 and 91.9 Classical KC are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Our programming will sound different as we troubleshoot. Please bear with us as we work as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.

Healthy Food

What exactly is healthy food? Definitions can vary. On this show: a visit to T. Loft, then a local scientist says that salt has gotten a bad rap for years; many of us should eat more salt, not less.

We also look into the healthy restaurant trend, and our Food Critics and a dietitian search out the best healthy dishes in and around KC.

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
