This conversation explores the societal factors that have led to the rise of the fast food industry over the last 50 years—and the misconceptions many have about why communities rely on fast and convenience foods. We also dive into the more intimate side of what food means on an individual level, discussing the true meaning of generational wealth, and what a legacy of values, knowledge, and education around our global food systems could possibly look like.
