This episode explores a surprising and thoughtful perspective on modern food systems. Victoria talks with scholars Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel N. Rosenberg, co-authors of Feed the People: Why Industrial Food Is Good and How to Make It Even Better, about how frozen vegetables, canned beans, plant milks, and other accessible foods can help make compassionate eating realistic and affordable for more people.

Peacefood Cafe has been feeding compassionate New Yorkers since 2009. In this conversation, co-owner Eric Yu shares about being a spiritual guy in a business role, his decision not to serve alcohol in his restaurants, and what it takes to thrive in changing times.
