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.
This week Straight, No Chaser takes on foodborne illness when lawyer Bill Marler joins host Katy Keiffer. Marler began representing victims of foodborne illness in 1993, when he represented the most seriously injured survivor of the Jack in the Box E. coli O157:H7 outbreak. Since then he has represented thousands of victims of foodborne illness, including Stephanie Smith, the subject of a Pulitzer Prize winning story in the NY Times magazine, about E. coli contamination. So tune in to get the latest news on apple juice and arsenic, the American Meat Institute and new screening processes, and finally the use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics. This episode is sponsored by Hearst Ranch.
