Episode Transcript
Lies, exploitation, and the American dream turned nightmare. Since reporting
our series Big Sugar, we haven't been able to turn
away from this story. We investigated the multi billion dollar
sugar industry and in decades long lawsuit on behalf of
cane cutters seeking unpaid wages. Well, there is so much
(00:27):
more to talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
There was actual ash that would fall on my notepad,
that would fall into my hands. They called it black
snow for a reason because it actually rained.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Down on people.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm Celis Headley and in these new episodes of Big
Sugar from iHeartMedia, Imagine Audio and Weekday Fund, we pick
up the story of Big Sugar from Customs and Border
Protection taking action.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's a huge deal. The idea that the largest producer
would have all of their imports into the United States
blocked based on forced labor concerns, that is extraordinary. It's
an incredible moment to.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The upcoming Farm bill.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The program costs consumers an estimated two point five billion
to three point five billion per year. That's every single year,
billions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
To the residents. Vowing to keep fighting until sugar companies
stopped burning the fields and the black snow stops falling.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Is it a cost for them to start green harvesting? Yeah?
Problem so. But at the end of the day, is
our life worth the investment that you're making.
Speaker 1 (01:47):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
