Episode Description from the Publisher

This week is the start of a few shows on the bad mic.  And it is all my fault.But "A" mic is still better than no show at all.Let’s talk salt in late 19th century America.  It used to be all about food but isn’t any longer.  Listen along as we look out how the Industrial Revolution - especially around food - runs on salt.  And how the living away from the farm and shopping in the stores needs salt to happen at all.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
