S3 Ep 209Helen Veit: How, Exactly, Did Kids Become So Picky?
The historian and author of "Picky" talks to Kate and Mark about the history of "children's food," how pickiness is positioned at the intersection of biology and culture, generating a set of standards to get us back to a more pleasurable relationship with food (and why it'll feel counterintuitive), and the fear of parenting in "older ways" (and why people who are doing so tend to not talk about it).

S3 Ep 208Ted Genoways: The Ongoing Saga of the JBS Beef Plant
Thousands of workers at the JBS beef plant in Greeley, Colorado, one of the largest US meatpacking facilities, have gone on strike over alleged unfair labor practices—the first major strike at a US beef slaughterhouse in 40 years. We're revisiting our conversation with journalist Ted Genoways, who last year reported on allegations of human trafficking at the JBS plant: the viral TikTok video that started it all, the thousands of Haitian migrants in the crosshairs, and how JBS' HR department saw it as a positive thing.
