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.
