For many people, there are few things in life more intoxicating than being in the know. And when it feels like you're uncovering a mystery, even the most mundane aspects of a profession can seem fascinating.
So when someone comes to us with knowledge that purports to expose something sinister about an industry we support every day, it's almost impossible for our curiosity not to get the better of us.
And since that knowledge often helps us better understand what the people we meet go through or what we shouldn't order at fast food restaurants, we can sometimes come away with information we can really use when people tell us their secrets.
