Ruminate, a nonprofit innovation lab, is digesting some Questionable Food. Community food leaders join us every other week to discuss what they wish more folks were talking about. Each guest shares stories of their triumphs, struggles, and frustrations, with a focus on the ethics, equity, and environmental sustainability issues within our food system. As we move from community to community, we gain a closer look at the breadth of the American food experience. Hosted by Kara Kaminski-Killiany. Produced by Ryan Kaminski-Killiany.
