Sick Society

We all know we are supposed to "eat healthy" but what does that mean? How does it really affect our health?

In episode 6 of Sick Society, Dr Alexis Paton and Sir Andrew "Bod" Goddard are joined by Dr Duane Mellor, a double award winning registered dietitian and science communicator who says that we've lost touch with what food is.

In this episode we will discuss:
  • homogenization of our food supply
  • why we eat, where we eat & who we eat with
  • the cost of food
  • why focusing on obesity is missing the point
  • "food noise" & the struggle to navigate the world of nutrition advice
  • how we enjoy food
Sick Society is a Haunted Mouse Productions podcast, hosted by Dr Alexis Paton and Sir Andrew Goddard, exploring how medicine and public life shape health.
