In this explosive episode, we unpack what could become the food fight of the century with a landmark lawsuit, federal and state governments, and academia in one corner and Big Food and Big Ag in the other. We explore the shadowy influence of Big Tobacco on our modern food supply, exposing how their playbook shaped the addictive foods and behaviors we see today. From legal battles to behind-the-scenes strategies, this episode dives deep into the systems fueling addiction and health crises—and why this lawsuit could be a game-changer.
