Episode description
Shane Hewitt is joined by The Food Professor, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois — Canada’s leading food policy expert from Dalhousie University — to dig into why fresh summer produce should mean fair prices, and why sometimes… it doesn’t. They unpack how seasonal fruits like strawberries signal the start of summer, how sneaky pricing tricks erode trust, and why consumers now have the power to fight back — one viral post at a time.
