My guest is Martin Cohen. Doctors and nutritionists often disagree with each other, while celebrities and scientists keep pitching us new recipes and special diets. No one thought to ask the philosophers\u2014those rational souls devoted to truth, ethics, and reason\u2014what they think. Until now. That's the subject of Martin Cohen's newest book I Think, Therefore I Eat: The World's Greatest Minds Tackle The Food Question.
