Kaye Adams discusses the true cost of cheap food and hears about undervalued care workers.

PHONE IN: Alcohol
Scotland had the worst rate of alcohol related deaths in any part of the UK over the last 20 years. Plans for minimum pricing are in legal limbo - so do we need a totally radical approach challenging the culture of heavy drinking in Scotland? Research suggests smoking amongst under 16's in Scotland has dropped dramatically over the last decade so should we adopt the same approach to alcohol?

Also looking at: 

WHO CARES ABOUT THE CARERS?
Scottish care workers are "undervalued, unappreciated and overlooked," according to a report put together by Scottish Care. Kaye asks if need to re-evaluate caring as a profession?

TRUE COST OF CHEAP FOOD

Brainwaves: Donating your body to science

Donating your body to science

BBC Radio Scotland - Brainwaves, Donating your body to science

Pennie Latin considers whether she would or could donate her body to science

What do you want to happen to your body when you die?  Cremation?  Woodland Burial?  Maybe you’ll have your ashes scattered at sea…perhaps you’d like to donate your body to science?  

Edinburgh outlaws, Burke and Hare made a living simply because cadavers were essential to anatomical education. Today cadavers are still essential to learning and research, the difference is today donating your body to science is a very different affair.

In this edition of Brainwaves Pennie Latin looks into the who, what for and why of modern body donation.  With extraordinary access to the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification at the University of Dundee, Pennie meets the medical students in the dissecting room who learn from the cadavers, the anatomists who use them for research and hears about the pioneering Thiel method of preservation that enables the cadavers to be used for a far wider range of research than traditional preservation techniques.

Asking herself if she would donate her own body,  Pennie sets out to discover what would happen to it. Her journey begins in the Val McDermid mortuary.
