Is our food getting shittier, literally? Join Julia and Nick as they conduct an investigation into the complicated and deeply gross history of food safety. From murderous milk and The Jungle to RFK Jr. and diarrhea lettuce, they unpack the creation of our modern food system, America’s addiction to ignoring science, and how one contaminated farm can suddenly become everybody’s problem. Digressions include Johnny Crunkleseed, the FDA’s young hoe era, and Insect Fragments George.

This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette.
