FLR 39: On Science, Processed Foods, Cancer, and Fast Food Poop

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:    None This is another show devoted to news stories popping up in early 2019.  A recurrent theme in this podcast is the terrible impact that highly processed foods have on our health.  I think, in the next 10 years, that topic will become front-and-center in the national discourse as the health crises in this country and others reach epic proportions.  Even now, I’m seeing some significant early signs, which I’ll talk about later.  Plus, at the end you’ll get a fascinatingly gross story about the fast food industry.
