Food

Adam unpacks the origins of the USDA, the ways in which it keeps food safe, its challenges, and how it's directly responsible for stuffed-crust pizza.

Disease

Adam examines the US government's helpful and harmful approaches to sickness and finds that incompetence and indifference are all too contagious.

A disillusioned Adam visits Barack Obama to see if the man who made "hope and change" a thing can explain how to make an actual impact in government.
