From the Field: Behind the Scenes with “The Food Factor”
Every month “The Food Factor” crew assembles to film the next month’s episodes. This week we were in Clinton to talk about rice, a Mediterranean twist on macaroni and cheese, and our plans to add new, fun flavors to our family favorites.
Our host, Extension agent Natasha Haynes, makes it look easy, but she memorizes all of her lines – no teleprompter here! She’s also a good sport, because you never know what kind of crazy ideas the videographers will generate.
The funniest thing is, the people who have changed their eating habits the most are all of us, the crew! Natasha and our videographer Jonathan traded their beloved white rice for cauliflower rice. Brian lives for extra virgin olive oil and avocadoes. He also jumped on the turmeric train. And Ellen makes our chicken nuggets every other week.
