        &lt;p&gt;Is Slow Food and organic produce an elitist form of status signalling? What's so good about McDonalds?! And why do we &lt;em class="inline--italic"&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; food waste?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Food historian Rachel Laudan joins Adam Grubb and Sarah Coles to talk reasons why she thinks many in the ethical and sustainable food movements could use a little historical perspective, and it's a fascinating and provocative discussion. See her &lt;a href="http://www.rachellaudan.com/2011/12/slow-food-the-french-terroir-strategy-and-culinary-modernism.html"&gt; critique of the Slow Food movement&lt;/a&gt;, and her award winning book 2013's&lt;a href="http://www.rachellaudan.com/cuisine-and-empire"&gt; &lt;em class="inline--italic"&gt;Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for further reading. &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;There's probably no more important single number than how much energy we produce as a globe, nor a more important prediction of what direction that trend is heading. It's almost impossible to think of anything we care about that won't somehow be shaped by those numbers. So Adam and Jed speak with James Ward from University of South Australia, to discuss his co-authored study into &lt;a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016236114010254"&gt; projections of global fossil fuel production&lt;/a&gt;, and a complementary paper on whether &lt;a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0164733"&gt; we can decouple GDP growth from energy use and environmental impact&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

It's almost impossible to think of anything we care about that won't somehow be shaped by those numbers. So Adam and Jed speak with James Ward from University of South Australia, to discuss his co-authored study into  projections of global fossil fuel production, and a complementary paper on whether  we can decouple GDP growth from energy use and environmental impact.
