Unpack the delicious irony of mass-produced organic food and the industrialization of 'natural' living. From examining corporate-owned farmers' markets to the carbon footprint of shipping organic quinoa across continents, we dissect the contradiction of 'industrial organic' agriculture. The episode features amusing tales of corporate attempts to make factory farming feel artisanal and the peculiar world of 'authentic' food marketing, including the story of how plastic-wrapped organic coconuts became a symbol of sustainability.
