Welcome back to The Ethnographic Eater podcast! Today we are going to be discussing a multitude of topics, all of which intertwine together.

We have two special guests on our show today! Michael Bocchine, local Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering enthusiast, and Jen England from Food Rescue Hero in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

We apologize for how long it took to produce this episode, as the month has been extremely hectic on our end.

Todays topics inclue:

How we rescue food, what rescuing food really means

How rescuing food has a positive impact on our atmosphere and environment
