For those who don't know this story, “Pink Sauce” was a luminous pink condiment created by a celebrity chef in the USA, and went viral on social media.

The condiment was bought by many but ending up causing widespread sickness and controversy as it was not FDA approved nor protected under cottage laws.

This incident left many to wonder: How much do we know about what is going in our food, and why are we so obsessed with what celebrities eat?

This episode explores the world of marketing and advertising in relation to food products, social media influencers, and some important watch outs when it comes to nutrition listings.

We ask about the nutritional qualities in meat products that are valuable to our diet, other sources of protein, how much protein should teens eat every day, and for the vegetarians or vegans, what do they need to consider to support their nutritional requirements.

Welcome to our first episode of Series 3 of the Nutrition Nibble podcast. 

In this episode, we have a discussion about whether healthy foods are more or less expensive than junk foods.  

We are exploring whether the cost of healthy food detracts Gen Z from buying it, and what will happen to our society if important nourishment required for teens is neglected.  

How can we ensure teens are choosing responsible food choices?

Introducing Series 3! In our bonus introductory episode, we meet our series expert guest - Emily Shears - and your podcast hosts, Freya, Olivia, and Parnian.

We are all influenced by deeply ingrained beliefs or inherited myths about food. Any google search will reveal a plethora of blogs, articles, influencers, and memes about food and nutrition that are unclear and misleading, if not false.

In addition, the global food industry is worth billions of dollars! With mega companies dominating every link of the supply chain, consumer choice is perhaps an illusion. It’s no surprise people are confused! 

There are many reasons for our deep misunderstanding about the science of food, not least that nutrition is an incredibly complex and a relatively new science.  

We hope you enjoy our conversations with Emily in our third series of the Nutrition Nibble Podcast.
