What Doesn't Kill You

Food production is a curious business; it's nuanced, layered, complex, and political. In What Doesn’t Kill You, host Katy Keiffer endeavors to identify and explain some of the key issues in our food system through interviews with journalists, authors, scientists, activists, and industry experts. Water rights, meat and agricultural production, food waste, labor issues, and new technologies are just some of the topics explored so we can better understand how to feed the future.

    Christina Cooke
    As a small dairy farmer the wording of Christina cooke story is terrible. I’ve worked with many Hispanic workers in my past on different farms. We do not employ any now on our “family farm”. I would, if I need to and would be treated with out most respect. Paint your picture of farming anyway you’d like but no farm is the same. Also why reference the farmer I’m your story as a older “white man” what does that hscecto do with anything? Wording in this story is all over terribly wrong from the description of the farm to the practices. I will never participate in reading anything from civil eats. Not into agenda driven journalists

    Really disappointed.
    I was excited to download this podcast. Played the April 16th episode, then unsubscribed and deleted the podcast. I was hoping to learn about the food industry, not listen to alt-right opinions.

    Good but Podcast Feed Problems
    I've really been enjoying this podcats and I even went back to the beginning and have started listening to the earlier shower but but the last few days there have been some amazingly not great handling of the podcast feed. Every time I open itunes this podcast has refreshed and all the episodes are back in my list as un-listened to. Before you think that I am incapable of using itunes I would like to point out that none of my other podcasts are doing this and I have been listening to podcasts for years now. Whatever has changed in the last few days with how you are handling the podcast feed is not working! Please go back to whatever you were doing before so that I don't have dozens of podcasts in my unplayed list that I actually have listened to!

    Great Show!
    I listen to this show every week! Host Katy Keiffer brings on some great guests (like Tom Philpott, one of my ultimate favorite environmental writers!) and always has great discussions about contemporary food issues. Her show is an hour or so long but the time passes quickly - I'd definitely recommend listening!

    Love this show
    Katy kills it! Give me more!

    Interesting
    This is my first listen and I found the conversation with the chef very interesting. Missing however is the notion of opting out of the horrible antibiotic system altogether. I quit buying "happy meats" because they are cost prohibitive. Giving up eating meat has saved me a lot of money so I now can afford organic vegetables that I used to think we're expensive. Really? No talk of opting out which would be wonderful for your health, the animals health and most of all the planet's health? Maybe it's in other episodes.
