Sponsored: Have a Listen to "Ingles Information Aisle"

For the past 11 years I've been the host of the "Ingles Information Aisle" that airs every Saturday morning on News Radio 570 am (WWNC 570am) at 8am-8:30am ET. This station is part of the "iheart" radio network (www.iheart.com) so you can listen to it on the radio in your car, home or on-line or even with the iheart "app" on your smart phone.

I usually record the shows on Wednesdays in the WWNC 570am studio in West Asheville and set up the guests myself. The guests and topics usually pertain in some way to Ingles Markets, food, health or nutrition. Often the shows feature interviews with some of our local farmers and vendors.

Over the years I've had a variety of different guests and many of their interviews are archived on inglesinfoaisle.com/podcast.

Here are just a few:

Sherry Coleman Collins Dietitian for the Peanut Board - Who talked about when and how to introduce peanuts to infants.

Gretchen Brown Owner of Munkii Foods, a "globally inspired" trail mix.

Tony Haywood - Retail Marketing Specialist for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture on the "Got To Be NC" program

Michele Miller ( aka "The Farm Babe") - Michele lives on a farm in Iowa but blogs and speaks publicly on a variety of farming issues to try and dispel myths about farming.

Rachel Laudan - Author and food historian.

Greg Jaffe of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and author of the Biotechnology Project who talked about the safety of genetically engineered crops.

Partner content: Stories of dining during a disaster

Hurricane Helene was and continues to be a traumatic event for our region, but even within the worst of it, there are stories of resilience and ingenuity in ways that many had to deal with making or getting meals while having no power or water for days.

There are many churches and community relief and service organizations that are and will continue to help in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Please make sure you check on what local area churches may be doing or need in terms of donations. Money is often the best thing to donate so they can buy what they need. Volunteer time is also often appreciated.

It is difficult to know what to write after a disaster of the magnitude caused by Hurricane Helene. It certainly teaches us the importance of coming together as a community to check on and help our friends and neighbors, and how vital our emergency response teams, first responders, National Guard, churches, shelters for both humans and animals, and relief organizations are in times like this.
