What's broken with our food system. An interview with Robyn O'Brien.: In this week’s episode of The Lindsey Elmore Show, Lindsey and her guest are shedding some light on what’s broken within our food system.

She made it her mission to take on the food system and expose what needs to be altered in order to keep our own families safe when it comes to what we eat. Robyn explains the unfortunate disempowerment of both famers and consumers and how we can each take back our own power when it comes to what we serve at our dinner table.

Alcohol: History's Favorite Mind-Bending Substance: Vervet monkeys steal it out of people's hands. Chimpanzees in Guinea are known to climb up palm trees and drink it. There’s even a theory that loving it was an important adaptation for our pre-human ancestors, that the smell of fermentation helped them track down very ripe, calorie-rich fruit. Alcohol has been deeply ingrained in our lives from the beginning, possibly since before we were human. And while the drive to drink is older than civilization, many have worked hard to reign it in. In 1920s America, these desires clashed like never before. It’s a story of a battle between chemists, and the unthinkable lengths the U.S. government went to to try to pry away our favorite mind-altering substance. Guest: Deborah Blum is a science writer and journalist. Footnotes & Further Reading: For more on the government poisoning program, check out The Poisoner’s Handbook by Deborah Blum.
