Episode Synopsis "2 – The Unexploded Bomb of Big Farming, Mono-culture and Dependence"
Introducing episode 2 of Contraband Food – yes it is episode 2 and we know that’s going to mess with some people’s sense of order, but trust us – episode 3 deserved to go out ahead of episode 2. Why? Because episode 2 is a slightly darker episode, in which we discuss: How the megafarming-industrial complex we all rely on so much for certain types of very common foods (“mono-cultures”) is like an unexploded bomb ticking away under our feet! Why and how we’ve put ourselves in such a precarious position – society (both producers and consumers) are practically dependent on this stuff ! My co-host’s weight loss (to some extent) and tactics to escape the clutches of the megafarms. Help us wean civilisation off its alarming and self-defeating addiction! All this and a bowlful of sugary absurdity to go with your vegetables this episode, so listen in to be edutained!
