7. The Protestant Work Ethic and Single Servings ft. Marin Toscano
Single serving foods help to promote our culture's work obsessed tendencies. Prepared foods like freezer meals and single serving "meal replacement bars" take us away from one another, and reinforce the idea that work is more important than meal sharing. This model for food production also happens to be very profitable. Tune in to hear how the conditions for this culturally-deprived food environment arose, and how it may be playing a role in the mental health crisis. Guest Marin Toscano breaks down the spread of this model of single serving food overseas.

6.The Plastic Lobby ft. Sharon Lerner
I'm joined by investigate reporter Sharon Lerner to discuss the ways that the plastics industry pulls the wool over our eyes in order to keep plastic production growing. We discuss the soft power of so-called recycling in forming a public acceptance of plastic use. Sharon breaks down the ways that the plastic lobby works to subvert democratic process in order to keep their profits high. Sharon Lerner covers health and the environment. She joined ProPublica in 2022 after seven years as an investigative reporter at The Intercept, where she focused on failures of the environmental regulatory process as well as biosafety and pandemic profiteering.

5. Why is Everything Covered in Plastic ft Jan Dell
Plastic surrounds us, but how has it come to dominate our food in the manner that it has? This week, we speak to Jan Dell, the founder of The Last Beach Clean Up, about the ways that the oil and gas industry are tied to the food industry. When decisions involving corporations this big are made, there are no accidents: the plastic we see polluting our world is because of the profitability they’ve aligned to seek as a joint effort — at the expense of all that breathes.
