Description

Have you ever heard about the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist of the 2010's? What about the debate over so-called "slow food?" Do you ever wonder how identity is tied to food? Have you ever questioned if your parmesan and olive oil are actually made in Italy? If you've ever wanted to know more about humanity's complicated and storied history with food, then this is the podcast for you. Join host Kenny Mears as he dishes up the dirty history of the dark side of dining, from food fraud and smuggling to endangered foods and how we can feed the world.
