In today’s episode, we’re joined by scholar, national speaker, professor, and author of the Pulitzer prize winning book Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America, Dr. Marcia Chatelain. This conversation explores the interconnectedness of race, capitalism, and the rise of the fast food industry over the last 50 years, and how these factors have played a role in the current health epidemic we're facing today in America. We also dive into the more intimate side of what food means on an individual level, discussing the true meaning of generational wealth, and what a legacy of values, knowledge, and education around our global food systems could possibly look like.
