Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse

Our guest today, author Anastacia Marx DeSalcedo, has a wonderfully curious mind. Her first book, The Combat-Ready Kitchen, explored the legacy and influence of military research on the foods we eat. (Who knew those bags of precut lettuce came from the Army?)  Her new book, Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse is just out. It’s a smart and slightly jarring argument that will shake up your preconceptions about nutrition, health – and yes, the benefits of exercise. Tough love for couch potatoes coming up!
