306: Food, Religion & Cults with Christina Ward

306: Food, Religion & Cults with Christina Ward

By Aliza Abarbanel & Matt Rodbard

Christina Ward is the author of Holy Food: How Cults, Communes, and Religious Movements Influenced What We Eat. It’s a fascinating book that digs deep into how the fringe and mainstream spiritual practices of Americas past shaped modern food culture, from trends to products still in the grocery aisle today. It’s a conversation you won’t soon forget and we hope you enjoy.
