The Crowd discusses the prospect of more than half the world being overweight or obese by 2035. As always, a personal take. This time we talk about issues including:

Yet another deeply problematic and complex issue that affects us all. Whose to blame - the food industry, society or us?

Communikarma Discussion: The Andrew Tate effect. Part 1

We talked about the report that made a link between  following misogynist influencers like Tate and mainstream extremist thinking. In the first episode we talked about the attraction of Tate.

For those not versed in his rhetoric, Tom reads out part of the Tate manifesto of women needing to spend all day making themselves ‘pretty’ and ‘always smiling’ without troubling themselves with anything significant because that ‘causes them enormous distress’. We then discussed these and other points.

Watch out for the rest of the discussion in Part 2.

Join us for a lively discussion recorded straight from a bustling pub in Birmingham! In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of our daily sustenance - food. From its role in bringing communities together to the influence of celebrity chefs like saltbae, we explore the multifaceted layers of food culture.

But it doesn't stop there. Our conversation delves into the intersection of food and politics, addressing pressing issues such as climate change, animal welfare, and the Western obsession with dietary trends. We also confront the stark reality of food poverty and its impact on mental and physical health, highlighting the class disparities embedded within our food systems.

Should food be under state control? The debate over measures like the sugar tax sparks engaging dialogue as we contemplate the role of governance in shaping our dietary landscape.

Yet, our exploration merely scratches the surface. From food deprivation used as a weapon to the imperative of food sustainability, there's still plenty more to unpack. Tune in for an insightful conversation that leaves no culinary stone unturned!
