Description

Welcome new listeners. We’re highlighting one or our favorite episodes: The Great American Food System makes chicken nuggets that look like hearts, dinosaurs even Baby Yoda. And why not? Last year, American families spent more than $200 million on frozen nuggets in novelty shapes. In this episode, Jane and Liz talk to Scott Friedman, whose family invented the dinosaur chicken nugget, and explore why dino nuggets—and all sorts of fun-shaped foods—might deserve a little more respect.

Feeding children is among the most basic of human responsibilities. So why do we so often feel like we’re failing at it? Pressure Cooker examines the history--and contradictions--of America’s Advice Industrial Complex, and brings intimate, funny and emotionally resonant stories from parents locked in the daily struggle to navigate manipulative marketing messages, impossible cultural expectations, and little people with big personalities as they try to set their kids on a healthy path for life.
