Description

There is a big food fight in Missouri over the use of the M-word, MEAT.  A new law aimed at clearing up shopper confusion just went into effect that bans calling plant-based and clean meat alternatives “meat.” Zlati Meyer, reporter for USA Today joins to talk about the new law, who pushed for the law, and why the makers of Tofurky are fighting back.

Next, President Trump attacked Google earlier in the week saying that search results for Trump News only brought up 'fake news' and national left wing media, suppressing conservative outlets.  Google responded and said they don’t bias their results toward any political ideology. But how does Google organize their search results? For that we turned to Jefferson Graham host of the Talking Tech Podcast to find out why everyone’s search results are different.

Finally, we might be close to losing another American icon. Insiders are saying that Sears may be close to the end.  With closing stores and a CEO that many are saying has been dismantling the company for years, Sears has become the Weekend at Bernie’s of department stores. Erica Pandy, global e-commerce reporter for Axios, joins us to talk about the fall of Sears.
