The Industrial Revolution: Tinned Fish Edition
Podcast: Hungry for History with Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez-RejónPublished On: Thu Mar 05 2026
Description: The Industrial Revolution didn’t just remake factories and cities, it transformed how the world eats. In this episode, Eva and Maite trace its origins in England and its uneven spread across the United States and Latin America, shaping labor, extraction, and global trade in very different ways. They explore how these industrial systems laid the groundwork for today’s climate crisis, then zoom in on tuna and tinned fish. From mass production to fancy cans, it’s a story of how industrial systems turned ocean life into shelf-stable commodities, and how we’re now rebranding them as luxury.
