“America’s veterinarians play key roles in food safety, and these podcasts offer us an opportunity to speak directly to consumers, many of whom may not be tuned in to the latest science and research surrounding the food we eat,” said Dr. James Cook, president of the AVMA. “We’re going to explore and investigate many of today’s burning topics surrounding food – where it comes from, how it gets to our tables and why it’s important to keep our food safe, abundant and affordable.”
“Chew on This” podcasts — to be delivered biweekly on the AVMA’s iTunes Channel and online at the AVMA’s food safety advocacy site – will explore a variety of food safety topics, such as cloned animals, organic foods, pasteurization, animal and product identification, and food importation.
Also available on the AVMA’s iTunes channel is “AVMA Animal Tracks,” a weekly podcast featuring veterinary experts on subjects such as pet health and safety tips, the threat of diseases that can spread from animals to humans and the surprising variety of roles veterinarians play in ensuring animal and human health.
The AVMA and its more than 76,000 member veterinarians are engaged in a wide variety of activities dedicated to advancing the science and art of animal, human and public health.
