What You're Eating

32

Whether it’s a salad, a hamburger or your morning egg sandwich, the way your meal gets made has an impact. What You’re Eating is here to help you understand how your food gets to your plate, and see the full impact of the food we eat on animals, planet and people. Host Jerusha Klemperer is the Director of FoodPrint.org, a website that uncovers the problems with the industrial food system, and offers examples of more sustainable practices, as well as practical advice for how you can help support a better system, through the food that you buy and the system changes you push for. From practical conversations with farmers about the true cost of raising chickens to tips from chefs about how to reduce kitchen waste to discussions with policy experts on the barriers to sustainability, FoodPrint’s new podcast covers everything from the why to the how.

    Thought provoking
    This show offers a deep and thoughtful dive into the world of food. It’s important to know about what we’re eating and where it comes from so that we can make healthy choices for ourselves, our families, and the planet. Thank you for some wonderful insights that help me feel like a more informed consumer. Keep up the great work!

    Fascinating with high production value!
    Typically I shy away from low review podcasts because they usually have lower production value, but this one sounds like anything produced from apm or npr. A fascinating podcast and super informative without any “ums” or off-topic ramblings

    AMAZING podcast!
    I am a YouTuber and know how much effort goes behind this research and getting all the interviews. I just listened to the episode on PFAS and my jaw just dropped to the floor at how good it was.

    Know your food
    This is such important research. For decades we have taken for granted that an item labeled food is food. At the same time corporate food production and the fda have allowed us to lose sight of what real food is. Why do stores wrap organic produce in plastic on a styrofoam tray? Some grocery workers think it’s illegal for organic produce to touch conventional produce.

    The Gift of Knowledge
    A trove of well researched information that leaves me both full of disdain and hopelessness towards our current food system; while also arming me with the knowledge to make better choices as a consumer. One of my all time favorite podcasts.

    Essential
    The best thing is can stay about this podcast is that it is informative without an agenda. Each episode is packed with information about our Byzantine food system, and the team at Foodprint manages to present all the angles in a balanced way. It is truly journalism the way it is meant to be done.

    Must listen!
    An insider’s guide to the complex and political world of food! For someone who does not work in the industry this is the cheat sheet I’ve been looking for. The host and interviewees unravel the complexities of the food world deftly and insightfully without a trace of preachiness or condescension. I look forward to each new episode.

    Great information
    I work as a bakery manager in a small food-insecure town and listening to this podcast at work has given me a lot to think about and sparked some ideas at how I can improve our food processes at work and what I might do as an individual to be more sustainable. I have enjoyed every episode so far.

    Informative and Hopeful
    In world where what we eat increasingly matters and the information about what we can about it is muddled, this podcast is the answer. Equal combination of information and solutions, What You’re Eating is for anyone who cares about the food they eat, where it comes from, how it got there, and everything in between. If you eat food, this is a must listen!

    Cuts through the Noise
    Compelling storytelling. I am so happy to finally have a go-to podcast that looks at food as a system AND helps me decide for myself what’s best to put on my plate. Smart, nuanced, pragmatic and informative without being preachy.
  • smagdiver
    Good find
    Randomly found FoodPrint while researching food and clicked on the rotisserie chicken article that lead me to this podcast. Really well put together with practical advice for someone who wants to eat meat sustainably but can’t afford my own mini farm. Excited to learn more when new episodes come out.
  • Sharone Mio
    A Must Listen
    Interesting and thoughtful breakdown of food system issues i’ve always wondered about but never had time to research of my own. If you care about what your family eats and sustainability practices, this is a must listen
  • Amy Pep
    Clear, Practical info
    I am loving the clear, practical information and the enjoyable, honest delivery. Like a lot of people, I want to do better with the foods I buy and consume - but this goal often gets lost in the shuffle of work, family and getting dinner on the table. Listening to this inspired me - and gave me some solid tips on follow through.

  • Siena C.
    Snappy and informative!
    The first ep of the podcast manages a pretty amazing feat: clearly explaining all the problems with industrial chicken and the alternatives in under an hour. I’m excited for the next episodes. If you’ve been wanting to know more about where your food comes from and how you can make the best choices at the supermarket, add What You’re Eating to your rotation!

    Fascinating podcast! Answering lots of questions I’ve had—and addressing new ones—about the food I eat. Thank you, FoodPrint.

    What You’re Eating
    Fascinating. I was suspicious of “Impossible”and “Beyond” burgers already, but now my instincts are supported by information. Looking forward to more in this series.

    Such important information for our times. Thank you!

    Looking forward to this!!!
    I can’t wait to listen in on the conversation around the “why” and the “how” of what we’re eating. Thanks to Jerusha Klemperer and FoodPrint for producing this podcast.
