The European Horsemeat Scandal

Becca shares a story about hot dogs that will make your skin crawl, even though it probably shouldn’t. Then Sarah tells the tale of the most famous (and most unsettling) food fraud in recent years: the European horsemeat scandal. Building off last week's episode on food fraud in the organic world, Sarah & Becca discuss how the power imbalance in the food system created the perfect conditions for the horsemeat scandal to occur. Plus, a bonus story about how a Top Chef Canada episode got a resounding “neigh” from horse lovers across North America. For all links and references visit our website.This is an independently produced podcast and your support means a lot to us.
