207: Food fads, “free range” chicken, farmed fish, etc.

free range chickenFood science is notoriously unreliable, and food fads are even worse

The boys drink and review a “lazy beer,” then discuss food fads.

Is it better to “eat local”? Are farmed fish less healthy than wild caught? Are “free range” chickens happier and healthier than others?
