This chapter explores the economic pressures faced by fish and chips shops in Britain, revealing their popularity among Brits and the significant amount of money spent on this classic dish annually. It also shares the inspiring story of an indigenous drink maker in Colombia taking on a major beverage maker.
Today on the show, we have two episodes from our daily podcast,
The Indicator, about things we spend a lot of time thinking about this time of year: food and drink.
First up, we explore how changes in economic conditions led to one of the U.K.'s iconic (and affordable) staple foods becoming a luxury.
Then, the story of one Indigenous woman whose small business went head-to-head with Coca-Cola over a trademark dispute.
