Altman, Alito In The Hot Seat, Food Inc.

Ravi kicks off the episode with a round-up of breaking news: from the latest in Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial to OpenAI’s new model of GPT and the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife.

Then, Eric Schlosser, author of “Fast Food Nation,” joins the show to discuss his new documentary, “Food, Inc. 2.” They dive into everything from the consolidation and corporate power in the food industry, the role of government subsidies in supporting factory farms, and the negative impact on small and medium-sized farmers to the need for stronger antitrust enforcement and getting money out of politics to address these issues.
