we are with you from soup to nuts
Law is a tool used to protect things we hold most dear. Law is most often used to protect money and possessions. But not much care is given to the things that are the very foundation of life.
Green Pepper Solutions

In the podcast series GreenPepper, food lawyer, consultant, and culinary activist Pepper Roussel explores food policy, food systems, and the laws that formulate them. Pepper reaches beyond the popular a charity model of just feeding hungry people to help listeners understand causes of and breaks in the systems. GreenPepper delves into history, culture, and the legal gymnastics formulating the need for environmental justice. With thought-provoking humor, Pepper Roussel uses GreenPepper to continue her noble quest of bringing food to the consciousness of people who eat.
