Julian Baggini & Pen Vogler
Feast and Famine
Philosopher Julian Baggini delves into the best and worst food practices in a huge array of societies, past and present, exploring new farming methods, cultured meat, GM astronaut food and the ethics and health consequences of ultra processing. Joining Julian is Pen Vogler who investigates the history of food and drink at the centre of social upheavals: medieval inns boosted by the plague; the Enclosures that finished off the celebratory roast goose; the Victorian chemist searching for unadulterated mustard and the post-war supermarkets luring customers with strawberries.
