Ben and Don start the episode with various topics ranging from notable alumni of Rutgers and Enloe High School in Raleigh to productivity/Getting Things Done. The food safety conversation moves to lead contaminated cinnamon in applesauce and a great New York Times article that provides a case study on the outbreak. The guys then go into a new law requiring bars in North Carolina to meet the Food Code requirements if serving food. They do a bit of followup on chicken washing and the show ends with a discussion on ultra processed foods.
