Contraband Food: Unashamedly controversial takes on food, the universe and everythingAuthor: Sword and Stone UK
Supported by Sword and Stone UK, this podcast mercilessly charts a path through some of the frankly unsettling details of what it takes to put food on your plate in the 21st century. People have never been more disconnected from their food. We live in a period of near-abundance in most of the world - but there is something not quite right with how we eat. Whether its corporations packing on the profits from selling us junk or nagging busybodies trying to ban our favourite treats, food is the site of a whole new battle and this podcast aims to navigate it for the man in the kitchen.

2 – The Unexploded Bomb of Big Farming, Mono-culture and Dependence
Episode 3
Wednesday, 14 October, 2020
Introducing episode 2 of Contraband Food – yes it is episode 2 and we know that’s going to mess with some people’s sense of order, but trust us – episode 3 deserved to go out ahead of episode 2. Why? Because episode 2 is a slightly darker episode, in which we discuss: How the megafarming-industrial complex we all rely on so much for certain types of very common foods (“mono-cultures”) is like an unexploded bomb ticking away under our feet! Why and how we’ve put ourselves in such a precarious position – society (both producers and consumers) are practically dependent on this stuff ! My co-host’s weight loss (to some extent) and tactics to escape the clutches of the megafarms. Help us wean civilisation off its alarming and self-defeating addiction! All this and a bowlful of sugary absurdity to go with your vegetables this episode, so listen in to be edutained!
