6/24 "Rescue Men," Healthy Baking & Frying, Master Sommelier Tim Gaiser, Summer Shape-Up, Movie Guy Steve

What's Cookin' Today Hour ONE:

Filmmaker Alan Smith Tells Us About "Rescue Men," A New Documentary About How an All-Black Crew of the Pea Island Lifesaving Station Swam into History by Rescuing Those Stranded in Sinking Ships

They were just a group of young men, some of whom were just boys not yet out of their teens at the Pea Island Lifesaving Station in North Carolina. But they would soon make history by rescuing scores of stranded sailors from sinking ships off the treacherous Carolina coast.

Distributed by John McLean Media and available at www.rescuemenfilm.com, this new documentary brings home the tale of the creation of the lifesaving station and the men whose accomplishments would bring honor and pride to a once obscure public agency.

Dr. Felicia Stoler Helps Us Make Sense of fats for cooking and food preparation and Tells Us About the Surprisingly Healthy Smart and Tasty Way to Bake and Fry!

By now, you know that you should be avoiding trans fats. As food manufacturers re-formulate their brands to replace trans fats with other alternatives, it’s easy to become confused when you read the new food labels. Saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated? Olive, canola, soy, Malaysian palm fruit oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil or animal fats (beef tallow, lard) – which are the healthier choices? The answers may surprise you.

Dr. Felicia Stoler is an American registered dietitian and exercise physiologist who has hosted Honey, We're Killing the Kids, a television series originally developed by the BBC that shows parents the consequences of poor parenting, using computer-generated images of what their children may look like as adults if they continue with their present life-style, dietary and exercise habits. Stoler has hosted the American edition, which appears as a one-hour weekly series on The Learning Channel in the United States and the Food Network in Canada.

Stoler attended Tulane University, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and sociology. She attended Columbia University, where she majored in applied physiology and nutrition and was awarded a Master of Science degree. In 2008, she completed a doctorate in clinical nutrition (D.C.N.) at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
