How would that small change make a big impact on the amount of plastic going into our oceans? As You Sow is a shareholder advocacy company that posed those very questions to Micky D's themselves. How did the colossal cuisine company respond? Find out in this we...

Tar spots are a big problem for corn! A fungal disease that damages the plant and reduces crop yield. Luckily, science is on the case! This week we hear from Professor Addie Thompson from the Thompson Maize Lab at Michigan State University about her research in corn tar spots and why corn is the cream of the crop.

***EDIT: FoodCorps is a national non-profit that is focused on food education. This is different from FoodCORE which is run through the CDC.
10 cents doesn't sound like a whole lot for a meal... but we learn why Michigan schools and child care programs benefit so much from that boost. Even the farms profit!
Fruits, veggies, and legumes for all!

Now read the title to the tune of "Hello, Goodbye" by the Beatles. It's what Cassidy would have wanted.
This is Cassidy's final episode of The Food Fix. Now that she's graduated with her degree in environmental science, she's taking some time to travel and unwind. But she plans to keep working in audio, so give her a Google search in a few months. As for now she is feeling bittersweet, as this was the coolest job she e...

First of all, octopuses are the coolest animals ever.
Second of all, it's octopuses, not octopi.
Third of all, octopuses are super resilient. Remember climate change? That thing killing the polar bears? Well it's also killing a lot of the fish that you like to eat. But not octopuses. Why? Refer back to point number one. And also listen to this episode.

Battle of the cinnamon rolls.
In this extra sweet sequel, Cassidy chats with co-reporter Jake Christie to get to the bottom of the biggest question you were probably left with after the perennial grains episode.

I know I know. Cassidy, the vegan, is promoting hunting on her show? Sounds fishy.
Well believe it or not, Cassidy isn't totally anti-meat consumption. She's just anti-unsustainable meat consumption. Most of the meat you buy at the store has been grown, harvested, processed and shipped in a way that will be detrimental to the environment if we keep at it for long. So if you're going to eat meat, one of the most sustaina...

I mean come on was the title not enough of a grab? Everyone loves space... probably.
