Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual — The Nutritional Industrial Complex


Listen Later

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This episode explores Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual by Michael Pollan as a systems-level analysis of how the Nutritional Industrial Complex influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual dietary decisions, the episode shows why Western eating patterns persist — and how they connect to healthcare systems, agricultural policy, and global food markets.
