What we eat for dinner not only affects our nutrition and waistlines. It has profound implications for the environment and the global food supply. Today on Worldview, we examine the politics of our dinner plate. As grain prices rise, nutritionists point to the humble potato as the key to solving global hunger. Plus, we learn of a new approach for managing the ocean's fisheries.
