  • Exposing the Toxic Underbelly of Tyson Foods
    Oct 9 2024

    Reporter Alice Driver talks with Mark and Kate about her work with Arkansas-based Tyson employees – many of whom are immigrants and refugees – for her book, Life and Death of the American Worker. She explains why the number of injuries at the company is higher than reported; how employees feel gaslit; why support for meatpacking companies – and, by default, their cruel practices – is bipartisan; and the growing role of children in the industry.

  • How Food in the US Is Used to Divide and Conquest
    Sep 18 2024

    Writer Andrea Freeman, a pioneer in food politics, talks to Mark and Kate about the history of food politics, from colonization to slavery to the Americanization of immigrant food culture; how the way we operate now is rooted in these practices; how Big Food has figured out how to meet kids where they are at any given point in time—from television to TikTok; and how oppression in the US has shaped cultural norms to make racial health disparities appear natural—and, as a result, impossible to solve through government interference.
