9/27/23 - Carl's Jr: F*** You I'm Eating

* Special Note: The story discussed in this show was wrong and corrected by the news source, thus what I talk about is inaccurate pertaining to the Carl's Jr. incident - but I do correct myself on the next show. A federal investigation is underway in the United States over whether Purdue Farms and Tyson Foods have been employing migrant children as young as 14 to work without any regulation in incredibly dangerous environments. Companies have routinely employed illegal hands, but children are viewed a little differently. Perhaps this is one reason that the border issue is just a talking point rather than a real issue to be seriously ‘solved’. Every side is benefiting from it; from votes to labor. This is a horrendous conspiracy of silence. A recent study in the journal Addiction has show that the advertising tactics, ingredients, chemicals, deception, etc., used by Big Tobacco are also the basis for our entire food supply; from food companies like Kraft, which was owned by Big Tobacco, to Fake Food Fast companies. The same can be said about Big Pharma too. It is no wonder why people believe that the food supply makes us sick enough so pharmaceuticals can be offered as a solution. There is some truth to this fact. In both of the above cases, the question is why anyone in their right mind, with any values whatsoever, would support the companies that do these types of things.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
