Encore: America’s Fight for Food Justice | Senator Cory Booker

Listen Later

Our current food system is a national emergency. It’s intricately designed to confuse and mislead consumers, making healthy choices difficult and contributing to America’s chronic disease epidemic. In this episode, I sit down with Senator Cory Booker to delve into the systemic issues impacting our diet, food labeling, and the power of policy change. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How food packaging is designed to confuse or mislead consumers
  • The link between the food system, chronic illness, and the unintended consequences of food policies that increase disease and healthcare costs.
  • The harmful effects of ultra-processed foods
  • The negative impact of industrial farming practices on the environment, soil health, and the nutritional quality of food
  • The importance of personal health advocacy and broader public health initiatives to transform the food system, improve health outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs

    • Uncover the truth behind our food politics and discover how informed choices can lead to a healthier future. This conversation was hosted by Sixth and I in Washington, DC.
