This day we were joined by Professor Muhammad Sahimi, Professor and Chairman of Chemical Engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, discussed the Bush Administrations sanctions imposed on Iran this past week - as announced by Sec of State Rice and Sec of Treasury Paulson. Additionally, we discussed the history of Iran's nuclear program as well as the current fractures amidst the three main factions of the Iranian government.
During the second hour of our program we spoke with pianist, composer, author and activist Dr. Will Tuttle about his book "The World Peace Diet". Dr. Tuttle's brilliant, timely, and beautiful literary composition "The World Peace Diet" is a critical evaluation of the intellectual and emotional intelligence behind ethical veganism. Dr. Tuttle elucidates our current health, environmental, moral, ethical, and political condition as a consequence of our basic interaction with our environment - our diet - and offers a path which will inevitably reduce the pain suffering and misery of this world through a manifestation of the fundamental tenet of all world religions and moral philosophies - the Golden Rule (do unto others as we would have them do unto us).
