Introducing Pressure Cooker, a James Beard award-winning podcast about parenthood, feeding kids and how it all became so complicated from José Andrés Media. Hosted by veteran journalists Jane Black (also Longer Tables executive producer!) and Liz Dunn, Pressure Cooker explores the thorniest topics related to how we feed our kids: How picky eating became a modern phenomenon. The secret history of the dinosaur chicken nugget. The truth about kids' vitamins. How AI can really help you get dinner on the table.

This week's show focuses on intuitive eating, the popular new anti-diet philosophy, recommends serving candy with dinner and letting kids eat whenever and whatever they want.  Is this hands-off approach the best way to escape toxic diet culture? Or … is intuitive eating just another food fad?
