Ep 245 | A beloved "clean" brand gets dragged online, a weirdly addictive AI remix goes viral, and vintage stoves somehow become a status symbol — welcome to the internet in 2026.

This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara unpack what consumers need to know about the Kerrygold PFAS controversy, why AI-generated music is leaving people unsure how to feel, and how a farmhouse breakfast reel reminded us that they really don't make things like they used to. With the Super Bowl coming up, they also share why Avocados From Mexico isn't just skipping the big-game ad this year, but changing their entire marketing strategy.
