A Poisonous History of the United States

The Food Safety Dish by Local Food Safety Collaborative

Episode notes

On this especially curious dish, we are digging into a poisonous history of the United States with Deborah Blum, a Pulitzer-prize winning science journalist, the best-selling author of six books, and a writer with a long-standing interest in poison, in our everyday lives, in our history and in far too many murders. Deborah takes us on a broad journey over time from ancient Rome to the Industrial Revolution era's sensational crises, to the creation of the FDA and her current outlook on today's food safety landscape.
