24:55Text “Do people even want to know about some of these issues? Because I think some of the meat production concerns, it's kind of like people would rather in some cases, I think some people might not really want to know all the nitty gritty. They don't want to know how the sausage is made. That poses an interesting question and challenge about how you communicate about some of these issues, when maybe there's a resistance among a subset of people who don't want to know more.” - Patti Truant Anderson This is the fourth episode in a special four-part series where we go deep into the food system with some of the brightest minds from Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, an interdisciplinary center based out of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. One of the reasons that we did this series is because we're about to enter another four years with the Trump administration; and last time, as we know, the Trump administration was pretty terrible for the food system in terms of climate, public health, worker safety, and of course, for the animals. This conversation is with Patty Truant Anderson. Patty is a senior program officer at the center. Part of her work at the Center focuses on public opinion polling around the food system. These polls can inform decisions by lawmakers. The great news is we're not nearly as polarized as it might seem. There is a lot of hope in the results.

48:25Text: Genesis 1:1 Introduction: Why Study Genesis? It sets the foundation for the rest of the Bible. It gives us the purpose of God for mankind. It describes the origin and effects of sin. It anticipates God’s answer to our problem of sin, a seed coming through the line of Abraham. It describes the origin of the nation of Israel and the Promised Land. It reveals the character of God to us. The Historical Background of Genesis Genesis is a book of beginnings, and the first of the five books of the Pentateuch. Genesis was penned by Moses while the children of Israel were in the wilderness. The Thematic Structure of Genesis Genesis 1-11 sets the foundation in broad terms of how the world was made and the fall of man. (wide angle lens) Genesis 12-50 focuses on the family of Abraham and how God’s promise will be fulfilled to send redemption to His people. (zoom lens) The Creator God of Genesis (Genesis 1:1) Our God is the mighty and everlasting Creator and Sustainer of all things, and we are accountable to Him as His creation. Our response to God should be one of worship and submission, where He is exalted.…
