Farm To Tablet
On today\u2019s episode we tackle a future that was once a staple of science fiction: food pills. Instead of shopping and cooking and sitting down to eat meals together, we all simply pop our nutritional pills and move along with our lives. How feasible is this, really? Where did the idea come from? And what does the rise and fall in the popularity of the idea say about our changing relationships to food, culture and politics?\nGuests:\nAnnalee Newitz, science journalist and science fiction author, co-host of Our Opinions Are Correct\nCharlie Jane Anders, science fiction author, co-host of Our Opinions Are Correct\nHelen Rosner, food correspondent for the New Yorker\nRob McGinley Myers, writer and podcaster\nKatie Gordon, associate professor of psychology at North Dakota State University and co-host of Jedi Counsel Podcast\nMike Rugnetta, producer of Reasonably Sound\nSoleil Ho, food writer, co-host of Racist Sandwich, host of Popaganda\n\u2192\u2192\u2192\xa0For more information about the guests, links, and further reading, go to https://www.flashforwardpod.com/2018/10/21/farm-to-tablet/ \u2190\u2190\u2190\nFlash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth.
