“The lentils fucked me!” my bestie screamed as she writhed in pain in her Brooklyn apartment. I could practically hear her all the way in LA.

My first thought: What the hell is going on?!

My second thought: We should make a podcast trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

Three years, two babies, and one class action lawsuit later: I’m so proud to share our podcast DEADLY HARVEST.

More about the show:

When my best friend Rivka got poisoned by Daily Harvest, I knew we had to tell her story. Deadly Harvest is a podcast that exposes the scandal that shook every yoga mat in Brooklyn.

How did a cute lil’ food delivery service manage to bypass FDA regulations and poison over 470 people with their leek crumbles? How did Daily Harvests’ response feel like it’s own kind of poisoning?

#Crumblegate isn’t just a bizarre blip in wellness culture; it reveals everything broken about our food system, our healthcare, and the pressure we place on our bodies to be perfect.

But since when did trying to be healthy makes us so unwell?

Diet culture is trying to kill us. It’s time to fight back.

Listen to Deadly Harvest HERE or wherever you podcast and please leave a review and let us know what you think! <3

Jessie + Rivka met in eating disorder recovery 10 years ago and have been best friends and collaborators ever since. Like chocolate covered popcorn, they bring out the best in each other, like only a best friend can. Being in recovery from eating disorders, they are uniquely poised to tell this story, as two women trying to stay healthy in a culture that constantly wants them to diet.

Special thanks to my baby daddy, Rufus Paisley, who edited the podcast and designed our gorgeous cover art. I’m on poopy diaper duty this week.
