We knew what was coming in 2025. Through the conversations on this podcast about food processing and collective health anxiety we got a front row seat to watch how people have moved to extreme views about food and our health. We've seen it mobilize groups of people to defy what should be common sense about food safety, and basic science.
We've also seen how people, particularly white men, respond specifically to Jessica when she asks if something is inherently unhealthy if we can't define it. From those responses we see how so much of this isn't about food at all. Food is just the vehicle, the distraction.
Enjoy this trip down memory lane with former guests including Shana Spence, Cara Harbstreet, Dr Selina Wang, Patrille Hernandez, Dr Natalie Ingraham, Dr. Lexi Brown, Jen Jacobs, and Jaye Rachon. Then come back for conversations in 2025, some history lessons and a new series titled "Re-grifting." Happy 2025!
