Your favorite podcast about food with a side of social justice is back this week to talk about food with a side of social justice! Hey, look. I write these episode descriptions every week. If you're already listening, you know what's coming. And if you aren't, I would like to invite you to begin at the beginning of this episode description and read it again.

We also hatch a new scheme that will hopefully make us rich.

A warning though, food poisoning is discussed this episode, so if you know what that means and it bothers you, take that into consideration.

New Question of the week:
Is there a thing you once had that was important to you that you lost somehow and wish you could get it back? And if so, what was it? Let us know!
