Bread, Berries, and the Government

On today’s episode, The History Guy tells the story of two foods, from their earliest origins to their contentious issues with government regulations. First is the story of sliced bread. Humans have baked bread for millennia, but automatically sliced bread is a relatively recent technology that nonetheless significantly altered society. Second, the History Guy talks about Cranberries, specifically American cranberries, and what makes them unique, up until one of the first “great food scares” of the twentieth century.
