We'll talk about the culture of excessive consumption on college campuses.

In Praise of Nepotism
How many times has someone said to you “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” The practice of nepotism is often met with disdain even though it’s also universally practiced. On today’s HearSay, we revisit a conversation on nepotism. Cathy’s guest is Adam Bellow, author of “In Praise of Nepotism: A Natural History”, which seeks to redefine nepotism as a natural, healthy concern for family and, by extension, those ethnically or otherwise similar to ourselves.

THE SHAPE OF GOOD HEALTH
Are you an apple or a pear? Did you know your body type determines a lot about your health, and what foods you should eat? On today's HearSay, we'll revisit a conversation with body-shape expert, Marie Savard, M.D., author of "The Body Shape Solution to Weight Loss and Wellness: The Apples & Pears Approach to Losing Weight, Living Longer and Feeling Healthier", about the role that body shape plays in determining heart disease risk. We'll also discuss how body image affects all of us as the face of anorexia is becoming younger and younger - even adolescent boys are struggling with poor body image.
