0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast.
0:02.7	But the privilege is eating cheap food that other people likely got cancer growing, harvesting,
0:12.6	and getting to market for you. That is the privilege. The privilege is living in America
0:18.3	where we can eat cheap food that is killing people, killing
0:21.7	the consumer slowly, but killing the farmers and the harvesters and all the farm workers at a
0:27.8	much faster rate, that is the privilege.
0:30.6	Hello, friends.
0:33.6	Welcome back to the Real Foodology Podcast.
0:35.6	I am your host, Courtney Swan. And today's episode,
0:39.1	we have a guest that has been here before, chef Molly Englehart. Her brother, Rylan Englehart,

1:21.8	They do a great job of showing the corruption that's happening right now in the food system and really how these large food corporations are getting away with poisoning us essentially the the funding that
1:30.1	they're getting and how our government is kind of turning a blind eye slash paying for some of this
1:35.9	and how we're also paying paying for it all with our tax dollars and subsidies and it does a really
1:40.7	great job of breaking it down and really helping you understand so anyways we, we don't talk about any of that in this episode, actually,
1:46.7	but I just was reminded because Molly's brother co-founded Kiss the Ground.
1:51.5	So you may recognize Molly's name.
