fearlessly eaten chicken feet in South Africa, haggis in Scotland, and tripe
prepared fifteen different ways. After travelling around the world twice, eating
more calories of food than one can count, meeting hundreds of fans, and
finishing her third season of a much-celebrated television show, Sue Vidam has
decided to start the discussion about how drugs used on chickens and cattle
affect the practice of farming and everyone who eats.

doing things a little differently. She’s restricted to just a $28 budget to buy
ingredients to feed herself, not just for one day, but for an entire WEEK. She
and other celebrity chefs are attempting to live for one week the way that our
nation’s poorest families live for 52 weeks a year.
