Why Weight Loss Medications Are Shaking ...

Juna Gjata
About this episode

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Marion Nestle. We discuss why food companies are scrambling due to the rising popularity of the new weight loss medications. We explore how our food system is designed more for animal feed and fuel than for human consumption. Finally, we talk about finding hope for the future of our food environment, even when it might seem like there's not much to be hopeful about.
