Vote with your fork for the kind of food system that you want. Every time you make a choice of food, you're voting for the kind of food system that you want.
What happens when food and politics collide? Marion Nestle, a renowned expert in nutrition and food studies, joins Dr. Marcia Sirota on 'Ruthless Compassion' to tackle this very question. Nestle, who fell in love with nutrition while teaching at Brandeis University, dives into the murky waters of food politics and how it shapes our daily choices.
From the hidden influence of the food industry on what ends up on our plates to the pressing need for a varied diet, Nestle offers a candid look at the intersection of food and policy. Ever wondered why sugar should be just five percent of your calorie intake? Or how chemicals like glyphosate in genetically modified crops could be affecting your health? Nestle doesn’t shy away from these tough topics.
She also sheds light on the critical issue of antibiotics in animal agriculture and its implications for human health. With the added strain of the COVID-19 pandemic making access to nutritious food even more challenging, Nestle’s insights are timely and essential. Her mantra, 'vote with your fork for the kind of food system that you want', is a powerful reminder that every food choice we make has broader implications.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the forces shaping our food landscape and how we can push for a healthier, more sustainable future.
