The Surprising Politics of...Fish?

Whether it’s the economics of small-scale farming, or the environmental impact of a fast food hamburger, what we eat is about way more than just nutrition. On this episode of Trending Globally, Sarah Baldwin talks with Ross Cheit [https://watson.brown.edu/public-policy/people/faculty/ross-cheit], a political science Professor at the Watson Institute who helps Brown students make these connections in a class he designed called ‘Politics of Food.’ But the more time he’s spent on this topic, the more he’s realized that one type of food is treated a little differently from all the rest: fish. In their forthcoming book Big Fish: Politics, Policy, and American Seafood, Cheit and his co-authors look at the unique challenges and opportunities fish represent when it comes to feeding the world.
