Episode 21: From Humble Beginnings to Lies: The Food Episode

Grab your carrots and saddle up, because apparently we're eating our way through a history of marketing lies.We're seeing through the propaganda that convinced Britain carrots were responsible for their pilots' incredible eyesight during WWII, learning how Popeye helped save the spinach industry, and discovering that maybe everything we thought we knew about vegetables isn't quite what it seems.I've also got a rant about coffee, because apparently I have thoughts, and it wouldn't be a food episode — or a podcast episode, frankly — without potatoes making an appearance.Except, plot twist: potatoes aren't the #1 vegetable in the world.So grab your carrots, pour yourself a coffee and come investigate the great vegetable deception with me.Send us Fan Mail
