LISTEN TO ARCHIVED VERSION
This episode is truly in the spirit of "deconstructing" our food and features a talk delivered by Andrew Smith -
a writer and lecturer on food and culinary history. His latest book is Eating History - 30 Turning Points in
the Making of American Cuisine. The diet of the modern American wasn't always as corporate, conglomerated, and
corn-rich as it is today. Smith demonstrates how, by revisiting this history, we can reclaim the independent,
locally sustainable roots of American food.
