Tireless food and industry advocate Erika Polmar joins us to discuss the nefarious plans Dollar General and other stores like it have to decimate local food economies.  Erika shares the history of this movement starting with Walmart and the vacumm left in their wake for Dollar stores to step in and suck dollars from small towns, leaving a less healthy populace and food system as a result.
 
We also begin with an epilogue from Erika about her 20 years doing farm dinners -- what their purpose was -- some of the joys and challenges, and why she decided to cease producing them.
