Ep. 213 – An International Perspective on the Pandemic with Cesare Varallo, Founder of foodlawlatest.com from Italy

We have returning guest Cesare Varallo, an Italian lawyer who is the global advisor on food safety, food labeling, and food regulatory issues talk about what's happening right now. More specifically, he’s a crisis consultant for food and one would say we’re in a crisis. I wanted his perspective on the pandemic because well, he’s in Italy, and also because Cesare interacts with so many global players.

Though I learn a bit about what’s happening in Italy, for my own curiosity, this episode shines from a systems point of view. When the pandemic happens, what are the chain reactions that happen> And how many are driven by fear? We dive into that and it’s quite interesting.

A quick disclaimer is that neither of us are experts on COVID from a health perspective so our point of view is just our observations. Please do your part in researching things in terms of news of the pandemic. This is considered a piece of knowledge, specifically, economically.

Enjoy and stay safe out there.
