The Food Seen
FOOD CRIMES with Christine Haughney
On today’s episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we’re joined by Christine Haughney, Senior Investigations Editor for Zero Point Zero Production, and her hard hitting online video series, FOOD CRIMES. After years as a news reporter for The New York Times and Washington Post, Christine brought her skills and empirical research to Food Republic. In “The Hunt for Illegal Seafood” she brings a South African fish smuggler to justice, “Mad About Saffron” speaks to the politics behind a controversial spice of the ages and it’s possible terrorist ties, and “PB & Jail” pins blame on a CEO’s inexcusable apathy towards the release of a food-borne pathogen into everyday food supply. From these cases, good arises, with new governing acts and laws put in place for protocol and safety, and a greater sense of how much food really effects the world.
