Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 Every year, Stephen Leatherman aka Doctor Beach releases his list of top beaches in the country.  A few are familiar, but for 2023, this list has some new entries, including from a place where the pronouciation has changed.... Hawaii. There's a new way to say the name of the 50th state. Say it with me:   ha-wa-EE' website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 As summer sets in, hot coffee is out and iced coffee is on our Taste Test table.  While the ingredients aren't great (even in our winner) one of these cool drinks is a winner while the others were a overly sweetened sugary mess. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 If you're not familiar with RV toilet paper, it's a rough subject to talk about.  Sorry for the bad pun. RV / Marine TP is specially designed to break down quickly in the black water tanks when used with those enzyme packs.  But do they work? We put both the RV TP and the enzyme packs to the test.  You'll hear how, whatever is in those packs, does indeed break down the TP, but it's not as quick as you'd think. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 We're noticing a trend... as servers and hospitality workers speak out, they're getting more angry, and Michael is having to use the "beep button" a lot more often.  In this episode, a back of the house worker told his boss to BEEP off because he refused to wear long BEEPING pants in the 100 degree BEEPING kitchen just because the BEEPING wife of the owner said so! I'm sure you get the picture! website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 "Go Big or Go Home!"  That old saying is especially true here, as drug agents seized packages of cocaine that weighed more than a classroom of small children!  While we're taking a lighthearted approach here, this is an ongoing and serious problem around the world as druglords use "mules" to haul and deliver drugs in very non-tradtional ways... including cruise ships! website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 In this week's edition of Airline Debacles, Elizabeth has the story of how a dead armadillo on the runway at Orlando International caused a HUGE back up in the skies.  Plus, you'll hear about yet another FAA Ground Stop that caused ALL air traffic in the US to be halted.  Between ground stops, the serious lack of air traffic controllers and the fact that there's STILL not a full-time director at the FAA is NOT inspiring a lot of confidence in summertime air travel.     website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 Elizabeth takes us to Washington DC, and tells the story of "spying" on her young son when he was on a class trip to the nation's capital several years ago.  Coincidentally in this editionm of Destination Unknown, she takes us to the International Spy Museum.  Visitors can see and experience a real "spy mission" and view the amazing displays of spy related artifacts that the government has released to the public.  We can only imagine what they're still hiding!   website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 Over the past two years, Elizabeth has shared the details (and warnings) of CRISPR technology, the next generation of GMOs.  Now a North Carolina company is poised to be the first to place CRISPR produced Mustard Greens in grocery stores later this summer.   Besides the obvious, (that no long term human feeding studies have EVER been conducted with GMO products) now we're finding out that as a result of a loophole written into the "2022 National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard" CRISPR technology produced foods are EXEMPT from ANY warning labels. Once again, the food producers (and their lapdogs in congress) are telling you that you don't have a right to know what you're eating. website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 Elizabeth has the latest travel related news, including the story of how half of the available hotel rooms in NYC are occupied by foreign "visitors" and Mayor Eric Adams isn't happy.  And you'll hear the story of how the women's rest room on a cruise ship was the scene of a crime, but the alledged perp was allowed to walk.   website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/20/23 Full Show:  After the latest food news, Elizabeth has the story of how a North Carolina company is using the next generation of genetic modification called Crispr Technology.  Their goal was to genetically modify mustard greens to remove the odd flavor.  Here's where we have a BIG problem with this whole story... the food industry and their lapdogs at the FDA that wrote the 2022 Bioengineered Labeling Law, left a huge loophole for foods created with Crispr Technology.  As a result, when this product is in the stores later this month, you'll never know that it was genetically modified.  Also on the show, our taste test focused on iced coffee drinks and you'll hear about some very strange activities on airplanes and airports.  Elizabeth's Top 10 of the Week looks at the best beaches in America, and her Destination Unknown takes us to The International Spy Museum in Washington DC.   website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/14/23 Elizabeth shares a couple of amazing recipes then the conversation turns to produce imported from Mexico.  We're being told that imported produce is tainted with Salmonella and that Americans are getting sick, at the same time, the Mexican government (and their farmers) are adamant that American GMO corn will NOT be allowed in their fields.  Is this purely a coincidence, or is there something a bit more sinister at work here? website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com

Food and Travel Nation with Elizabeth Dougherty The TRUTH about Food and Travel Broadcast Date:  5/14/23 Remember a few months ago when we first found out that the government wanted to ban gas stoves and they were quick to say it wasn't true?  Well, it IS true.  New York was the first to put restrictions on the use of gas powered stoves on new residential construction and that's not all.  As a part of a place called "NET ZERO," not only are they putting additional restictions on gas powered stoves, now they want your dishwasher as well as clothes washer & dryer.   When will we stand up and say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" website:  FoodAndTravelNation.com email:  Elizabeth@FoodAndTravelNation.com
