Revolutionizing Food Systems with Oliver...

Earwolf & Jameela Jamil
About this episode

This week, Jameela is joined by filmmaker Oliver English to hear about the people and stories behind his eye-opening documentary, ‘Feeding Tomorrow’. Together they explore where our food comes from, dig into the transformative power of food in every aspect of our lives and ask why it is important to consider the quality of food when it comes to our physical and mental health. They talk about the history of modern farming and pesticides, some myths about processed foods, and what changes we can take now to make sure our food sources are sustainable. Please note this episode covers food and food systems and not food restrictions or diet culture.

Feeding Tomorrow is out now and you can find screenings on their website: www.feedingtomorrowfilms.com
