Episode 12: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Food Rights

By Dennis Crowley | December 3, 2013

Podcast with host Dennis Crowley

Episode 12 of the Food Rights Hour podcast is about David Gumpert’s newest book, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Food Rights: The Escalating Battle Over Who Decides What We Eat. During this episode, our first-time host, Dennis Crowley, and popular author, journalist and blogger, David Gumpert, discuss:

  • Why has food safety gotten so much attention in the past twenty years?
  • How are the powers that be trying to incriminate farmers with secret, undercover investigations?
  • Is there sufficient evidence for the so-called food safety crisis?
  • Is the government trying to protect its citizens by cracking down on direct farm-to-consumer sales?
  • Is there a possibility of a dialogue between governmental agencies and food rights folks like Gumpert and food rights organizations like FTCLDF?

Listen to the podcast to find out!
