We all like to eat. There are, sadly, very profitable reasons to keep the various processes dictating how the food we buy is created well hidden. Today I point out just some of the lowlights you find alongside Episode 216: FOB The Dirt Road To Serfdom.

In this episode, I read from: Joel Salatin's book, Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal; my quickie dictionary; and Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma. I would highly recommend both of these books to anyone, again, who eats.

I play: Pee Wee Herman's observation about sizable posteriors. Yeah, I play that a lot; but it's still funny. Musically, KMFDM backs author Cory Doctorow in a brand-new intro mulling over the profitability of doubt and the merchants that peddle it; and Mistle Thrush closes the show.
