Jessica talks with Sherene Chou about the whiteness of the Mediterranean Diet and its origins. The two chat about their mixed reviews of speaking at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health’s Healthy Kitchens Healthy Lives. Sherene discusses a variety of “healthy diets” out there and how they fall short of meeting the moment. She also spills the beans on the next superfood.

Jessica is very excited that Sherene has worked at the restaurant at the center of Bad Vegan! Should the two watch and review for an episode!?
