Lucy Jarosz Victoria Lawson

Rotten’s first episode, “Lawyers, Guns, and Honey,” digs deep into problems beyond the well-documented disappearance of bees and bee colonies. The crew visits honey importers throughout the United States, and a German lab, to discuss the history of cheap honey that’s been diluted with sugar or artificial sweeteners before being shipped to the U.S. The crew talks to prosecutors who busted one nefarious German honey importer, and to importers about how they test samples for “honey adulteration.”
Netflix’s recent documentary series Rotten tells the true and sometimes gruesome story of what goes on behind the scenes of global food production—and the pitfalls that accompany the widespread lack of awareness of how and where commonly consumed foods are sourced. The docuseries is produced by Zero Point Zero, the production company behind Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations and Parts Unknown, and consists of six hour-long episodes, each of which centers around a specific type of food.
Most of the garlic we buy is from China, where many prisoners are forced to peel garlic behind bars, working up to 16 hours a day—often until their fingernails fall off. Also unsettling? The show reveals that many leading garlic companies have found ways to game the system under the protection of the Fresh Garlic Producers’ Association. sierraclub.org
