FORKED takes on the politics and policy that are turning the American food system on its head. Every two weeks, hosts Theodore Ross (FERN editor-in-chief) and Helena Bottemiller Evich (founder and editor of the newsletter Food Fix) dive into the complex issues that are transforming agriculture and nutrition. FORKED makes sense of this moment of radical change for everyone who cares about what they eat and where their food comes from.

    Can Mike Tyson really kick some ultraprocessed butt (and save lives!)?

    Helena and Theodore talk about Iron Mike Tyson’s mama-said-knock-you-out vibes on ultraprocessed foods, RFK Jr. tag-teaming with David Kessler on 60 Minutes, and why Kennedy’s remarks about doing cocaine off a toilet seat actually kinda sorta make sense maybe a little.

  2. “What can we do to reduce food waste?” from Second Nature podcast

    “What can we do to reduce food waste?” from Second Nature podcast

    A third of the food Americans produce goes to waste, and a shocking amount of that waste happens in our own homes. But reducing food waste is possible, if we make a few simple changes. In this episode, which comes to REAP/SOW courtesy of Second Nature, reporter Katelan Cunnigham talks to plastic-free, low-waste chef Anne-Marie Bonneau about how she limits food waste. Surprise: food delivery isn’t as bad as you thought when it comes to waste.

    Reporter Michael Grunwald tells us why he has hope for our food system future

    Our guest on this episode is Michael Grunwald, a journalist and the author of We are Eating the Earth: The race to fix our food system and save our climate. He’s also well-known for his opinion columns in The New York Times, and his writing often takes on, well, the sacred cows of the progressive environmental movement — CAFOs, chemicals, veganism, and more.

    The Food Babe dishes on MAHA’s next moves

    Helena and Theodore are joined by Vani Hari, “the Food Babe,” a New York Times Best Selling Author, wellness entrepreneur, and social media influencer. This is a wide-ranging conversation, on Roundup, the new dietary guidelines, and why Hari wishes she’d been nicer to the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

    Forked welcomes in the new year with bold (and unsubstantiated) predictions!

    It’s 2026 and Forked has returned from a short holiday break. Helena and Theodore are excited – and maybe a little nervous – to see what happens in the second year of life in the MAHA moment. Along with bold (and unsubstantiated) predictions, in this episode: it’s SNAP bans on junk food, why skinny santas matter, and the pill that just may eat the American appetite.

  6. Forked goes on the road with the What You’re Eating podcast

    Forked goes on the road with the What You’re Eating podcast

    In this episode, Helena and Theodore take the show on the road, talking many things MAHA and more with Jerusha Klemperer, host of the What You’re Eating podcast, from FoodPrint, a nonprofit dedicated to research and education on food production practices. This is a big-picture discussion, trying to figure out if MAHA is a political movement, whether it will last, and most importantly, is it doing any good? Helena focuses on the legislative outcomes at both the federal and state levels, while Theodore suggests that MAHA’s political leaders win even if their policies don’t become law, because their real goal is to tear down institutions.

  7. Live in DC – A Forked special event on MAHA momentum

    Live in DC – A Forked special event on MAHA momentum

    This episode explores whether MAHA momentum in the states translates into actual policy change nationwide. Helena and Theodore host the first episode of Forked recorded in front of a live audience in Washington DC with two special guests: Summer Barrett, a self-described MAHA Mom – and influential lobbyist – in West Virginia who led the state’s charge to ban food dyes; and Scott Faber, from the Environmental Working Group, who argues that MAHA is succeeding on food because the FDA isn’t doing its job. An in-depth look at food politics from two very different insiders.

    The federal government shutdown and the SNAP default

    In this episode, Helena and Theodore look at the federal government shutdown and what it means for SNAP. Also, the Truth Social post from President Trump to America’s ranchers, calling on them to lower their prices, has spurred an America First maelstrom. And finally — peanuts are back! (Or, research shows that introducing children to peanuts and other potential food allergens at a young age actually helps prevent serious food allergies.)
