Hi, this is Warren Alney. Thanks so much for listening to this podcast of To the Point,

and I want to tell you about another podcast that's available here at KCRW,

and that's the program, DNA, hosted by Francis Anderton.

Francis is well connected in the industry of design and architecture and art.

She used to be editor of an architecture magazine.

She knows the trends before they happen. She'll be able to fill you in on them. You can find DNA on KCRW's

iTunes page. From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is

To the Point. The Human cost of cheap produce. Hello again, I'm

Roman Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International. A daily look at the

issues Americans care about most. Walmart, Safeway, Whole Foods, and other American grocers import billions of dollars

worth of fruits and vegetables from Mexico. The companies advertise ethical sourcing guidelines,

including humane treatment of Mexican farm workers. But a recent investigation reveals

unpaid laborers trapped behind fences far from home, living in squalor, short of drinkable

water, bathing in

irrigation canals.

Is that what's keeping food prices down?

Today's talking point, an exiled Iranian journalist talks about her changing country and the role of women.

First, here's the news.
