Ep 38 - Go Believe Sushi & Sushi Economy
Monday Mar 08, 2010
Monday Mar 08, 2010
http://zweifatchicks.podbean.com In this week's episode, we review a great local sushi place. If that's not enough delicious, delicate raw fish for you, Tracy also does a book report on Sushi Economy. If that's too much raw fish for you, I suggest going back and listening to Episode 8 - Burgers! Go Believe Sushi (1801 Dundas Street East, Whitby ON, 905-438-9988) - http://www.gobelievesushi.com/

Ep 36 - Food Inc. Movie Review
Tuesday Feb 23, 2010
Tuesday Feb 23, 2010
This episode is about the movie Food Inc. - this show is very philosophical but always tries to be practical. The way we do farming now is a lot different then how our ancestors did, and people of our era are facing a lot of ethical questions. How much science is too much science? How long will it be before our creations turn on us? Or, more importantly, is the bigger issue the people that try to monopolize farming and squeeze out independent people who still try to focus on quality rather then quantity (Monsanto, we're looking in your direction). Add to these concerns: animal welfare, pollution, and you've got yourself 2 hours that is sometimes informative, sometimes relying too much on fear journalism, but is worth watching once.

Ep 32 - The Good Fare and Cheer of Old England!

The Good Fare and Cheer of Old England is a book we discovered at the Orillia Library. We loved it so much we bought a copy, and felt it needed it's own ZFC show to spread the word about how great a book it is! We are going to look into the copyright information (so far it looks like it has not been renewed and has fallen into Public Domain), so we are also going to work on creating an Audiobook version of it.
