Sustainable Dish Episode 167: Dr. Tony Hampton on the Food Compass and connecting with communities of color
Tufts University recently released the updated Food Compass, a nutrient profiling system to help consumers and policymakers determine the healthfulness of certain foods. You can read the full study here, (a subscription to Nature is required) read the brief overview here, or see a detailed list of the food rankings here.
Dr. Tony Hampton joins me in this episode to discuss some of the shocking and inaccurate results of the Food Compass. Spoiler alert: Cheerios scored a 94 out of 100 while beef only scored a 24.
Dr. Hampton is a board certified obesity specialist, Certified Physician Executive, researcher and author. His goal is to empower his patients with knowledge in order to improve their health conditions.
Like me, Dr. Hampton is passionate about the necessity of meat in a healthy diet, and takes issue with how animal-based foods are often vilified in studies like the Food Compass.
Guides like this are troubling because they serve as reference points for school lunches, food policy, and government programs like SNAP. They claim to be intended for healthy populations but the sad fact is that many Americans are not metabolically healthy.
Along with the Food Compass report, Dr. Hampton and I discuss:
How Dr. Hampton started his journey in metabolic health with his wife’s diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes
The importance of bio individuality
The concept of TOFI – Thin on the Outside, Fat on the Inside
The importance of self-experimentation
Why learning how to breakdown research papers is important, especially for clinicians
The importance of a culturally appropriate diet
The origins of soul food
How small changes can make a big difference
