BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
We're told the food supply is safe. And often, it is. But safe is a bigger word than it sounds, and it rests on things most of us never see.
This episode looks at three outbreaks unfolding right now:
- Cyclospora in the lettuce, a parasite so hard to detect that the case was built on interviews, not lab tests
- New World screwworm, a flesh-eating pest eradicated 60 years ago, now back in Texas
- H5N1 bird flu, which leapt from poultry into dairy cattle and now turns up in the milk supply
Every reassurance depends on people testing, tracing, and watching, and those people (and their jobs) are disappearing. It's part of why a shorter supply chain is a more transparent one, the small, local, diversified farms that make our food easier to see, and to trust. Food is never just about food.
One Bite is EverythingFrom your plate to the rest of the world, One Bite is Everything explores the connections between food, health, community, the environment, and the economy. Through conversations with farmers, chefs, researchers, advocates, and food system leaders, host Dana DiPrima examines how food touches every aspect of our lives and why understanding our food system has never mattered more.
