You're reading an older Hightower Lowdown article. Jim's still writing — twice a week on Substack.
As we head towards Thanksgiving, our minds are all on one of our favorite topics: FOOD! What power do people really have if we can’t even control what’s in our dinner and where it comes from? Hightower sits down with journalist Tom Philpott and economist Raj Patel to discuss the future of food– from overhyped lab “meat” (!) to restaurant worker dignity to Black farmer reparations and more.
