How Supermarkets Rewired the Planet | PBS
Grocery shopping is often perceived as a simple, mundane activity. For many, access to food has never been more effortless but supermarkets hold far more power than we realize. The journey our groceries take to reach the shelves touches every part of our lives – from our health, to our culture, to the environment.
Shane Campbell-Staton embarks on a global investigation into the supermarket’s origins, revealing how they transformed the world and grappling with what the future may bring. He explores how innovations in food production, packaging, transportation, advertising and retail design revolutionized how we buy our food.
Today, supermarkets offer endless choices and low prices but behind the shelves lies a darker truth. In pursuit of efficiency, we’ve surrendered control of our food system to vast corporations, promoted global supply chains that hide labor and environmental abuses and flooded our diets with ultra-processed foods.
Shane travels from surreal supermarket art installations to apple orchards, commercial film sets, shrimp farms, urban food co-ops and beyond, connecting with people whose lives are intertwined with this system. He uncovers a complex story of the modern grocery store, the true cost of convenience and the urgent need to reimagine the way we feed ourselves.
