- Society & Culture
In our very first episode we discuss a key component of good health, food. Humans need food to survive and in North American culture we obtain most of our food from grocery stores and restaurants. But the food we eat is the result of structures that many of us may not even be aware of, and this has serious impacts on our daily lives. This episode covers:
Where our food comes from and how it gets to the grocery store
Why we add/remove bacteria, preservatives and other chemicals to our food
Changes in food production over the years and how these changes impact the quality of the food we eat
How food marketing shapes our shopping habits and purchasing choices
Concerns within the Canadian food supply chain
What food sovereignty means and why it's important
What needs to happen in order for us to have access to healthy food
