207: Food fads, "free range" chicken, farmed fish, etc.
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
The boys drink and review a "lazy beer," then discuss food fads. Is it better to "eat local"? Are farmed fish less healthy than wild caught? Are "free range" chickens happier and healthier than others? Unfortunately, many of these things are so imprecisely defined that they're meaningless. Pigweed and Crowhill both agree with many of the goals of the people who promote some of these food fads, but when you look into them, they tend to fall apart under scrutiny.
