Description
In this episode, we’re talking about the controversial issue of how prison labor is used by multinational corporations to bring some of your favorite products and foods to your table.
What I’d like to share with you in this episode is what is behind the curtain. What the food products are that use convict labor to bring these foods to market, what are the benefits and costs are on both sides of the issues to determine whether this is a good thing for our food and our people.
It’s definitely a complicated issue that has been controversial…I mean, have you ever read the back of any product that said, "Made In the US by prisoners"? Probably not.
And if you did, would you still buy that product? That’s the question.
Thanks for listening and I hope you share this episode with someone you love.
