The American Way of Eating: Food, Labor, and the Hidden Cost of Access
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores The American Way of Eating by Tracie McMillan as a systems-level analysis of the American foodscape.
The discussion examines how labor conditions, retail consolidation, time poverty, food deserts, and industrial supply chains shape what people can realistically eat. Instead of treating diet as a private moral choice, the episode asks how wages, logistics, geography, and corporate incentives make some meals available and others structurally difficult.
