French Food, Wildfire Land Grabs, and History Repeating: Teresa Platt Returns
They start with something everyone can relate to—food. Teresa shares what she’s seeing across France when it comes to seafood and other locally sourced ingredients. It’s a reminder of how important it is to know where your food comes from and to keep food systems as close to home as possible.
Then the conversation shifts back to the U.S., where Teresa sheds light on a disturbing California bill that would allow the state to take control of private land affected by wildfires. She also breaks down the Pacific Palisade fires and shares what she's found—allegations that include a drone colliding with a fire-fighting plane.
From there, it’s back to France for a look at Bastille Day. Is it still celebrated the same way? Teresa talks about the legacy of the French Revolution, government overreach, and the recurring struggle between repression and resistance. They also touch on the growing demands of artificial intelligence and the increasing strain on basic resources like electricity and water.
