Hear Dr. Nora Volkow and food scientist Massimo Marcone, on this edition of Fresh Air.
Dr. Volkow is director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and one of the country's leading addiction researchers. Her research has helped demonstrate that addiction is a disease of the brain, and that all addictions (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, gambling, even food) are more alike than was previously thought. Volkow is the great-granddaughter of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. She grew up in Mexico City in the house where her famous ancestor was assassinated.
Then, Massimo Marcone, who travels to the world's remote places to investigate bizarre food "delicacies", including coffee brewed from coffee beans extracted from the feces of a cat-like creature and cheese infested with squirming maggots. His new book is In Bad Taste? The Adventures and Science Behind Food Delicacies. Marcone is an adjunct professor of food science at the University of Guelph. [Broadcast Date: July 10, 2007]
