Texas Slim joins WAWTAR to talk about food intelligence and the state of American health (spoiler alert: it's not great). What happened to our healthy foods? How can we get back to quality, high-energy proteins that aren't full of filler? And what does this look like for our communities and neighbors?

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
