What You're EatingAuthor: FoodPrint.org
Whether its a salad, a hamburger or your morning egg sandwich, the way your meal gets made has an impact. What Youre Eating is here to help you understand how your food gets to your plate, and see the full impact of the food we eat on animals, planet and people. Host Jerusha Klemperer is the Director of FoodPrint.org, a website that uncovers the problems with the industrial food system, and offers examples of more sustainable practices, as well as practical advice for how you can help support a better system, through the food that you buy and the system changes you push for. From practical conversations with farmers about the true cost of raising chickens to tips from chefs about how to reduce kitchen waste to discussions with policy experts on the barriers to sustainability, FoodPrints new podcast covers everything from the why to the how.

Pesticides: Profits vs. People
Episode 34
Tuesday, 16 June, 2026
Who is harmed by pesticides? A child eating a big, red, conventionally grown Driscoll’s strawberry. Or a bowl of Cheerios. Or does the chain of harm go back further? To a farmworker, spraying pesticides up and down a row of crops. Or a farming family, living on the land where the crops are grown. Or a community, breathing the air and drinking the water downstream from the farm. Are these foods bad for us to eat? Are they bad for us, collectively, to grow? And if so, who should pay the price? This episode features Carey Gillam, investigative journalist and author of the books Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science and The Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption, and One Man's Search for Justice; Max Sano, the senior policy and coalition associate at Beyond Pesticides; Aaron Lehman, president of the Iowa Farmers Union; and Urvashi Rangan, chief science advisor at the Grace Communications Foundation and FoodPrint. What You’re Eating is produced by Jerusha Klemperer, Nathan Dalton and FoodPrint.org, which is a project of the GRACE Communications Foundation.
