Mark Bittman is known for serving up amazing recipes with a healthy side of social commentary. The New York Times columnist and bestselling author joins Shad to discuss his cutting new book, A Bone To Pick, and the deeply rooted problems he sees in our corporate food system. 

Bittman views recent shifts in the industry — like General Mills nixing artificial colours and flavours in its cereal — with a critical eye. Are we really witnessing positive change spurred by public awareness, or just repacked versions of the same old problems?
