Warning: this episode requires an open mind and an earnest desire to learn about our food system. Today, Caroline asks: what is factory farming, how did it come about, and is it really so bad? We’re taking a sincere look at the good things about our current food system, because we can’t change a food system we don’t understand. We start with history, get into the Green Revolution, and end the episode myth-busting the biggest claims against factory farming. And in the next episode, we’re going to tear it all down.
