This episode looks at four food stories through one lens — who decides what counts as “good” food. It covers how hot dogs are made and their real cancer risk, plus vegan and carrot-based alternatives; the Coney Island eating contest and what it says about our relationship with unhealthy food; a critique of the National Food Museum’s diet scorecard, which penalizes skipping dairy/fish and eating more produce; and Europe’s falling meat consumption alongside its fight over labeling plant-based “burgers” and “sausages.”
