Episode description

In the new book "Animal, Vegetable, Junk," trusted food authority Mark Bittman offers a panoramic view of how the frenzy for food has driven human history to some of its most catastrophic moments, from slavery and colonialism to famine and genocide—and to our current moment, wherein Big Food exacerbates climate change, plunders our planet, and sickens its people. Bittman joins Frank Buckley Interviews to discuss the arguments in his books. He also explains why "Impossible meat" and meatless burgers do not really have the benefits consumers might think. He also explains why activists, workers, and governments should be choosing well-being over corporate greed and gluttony.
