Yá'át'ééh abiní. On Thursday, April 4 over My Second Cup of Coffee I spoke about Food, Oppression, War and Human Dignity. More specifically in this episode I discuss the two sides of Trader Joe's, Online vs. in-store grocery shopping, food deserts, the war in Gaza and Israel's strike on international aid workers from the World Central Kitchen. I invite you to join me.
