What’s Wrong with Our Food System? The Lies You’ve Been Told + Believe
Manage episode 451303136 series 3609757
Why does a slice of bread today barely resemble the one your grandmother baked? Our food system has transformed dramatically over the decades, turning simple ingredients into what some call "Frankenstein foods." On this week’s solo episode of the Extend podcast, I dive deep into how we got here, exposing the missteps and misinformation that have shaped today’s diet-driven epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and gut issues.
From the infamous food pyramid to the low-fat craze, I unpack how the government guidelines and industry lobbyists steered us toward a carb-heavy diet, with disastrous results for our health. You’ll gain clarity on the roles subsidies and corporate interests played in crafting our food environment—and more importantly, learn how to take back control.
