Marion Nestle on the Powerful Forces Shaping What We Eat

For more than five decades, renowned nutritionist, molecular biologist and food activist Marion Nestle has worked to expose the connections between Americans’ health and the powerful agendas  shaping what we eat. Her newest book, co-authored with Dr. Lisa Sutherland, “Sugar Coated: Unboxing the Hidden Forces Shaping America’s Favorite Breakfast Food” examines the politics of our morning meal.  We talk with Nestle about the shifts in attitudes and regulations of what we eat — from soda taxes to the MAHA movement — and about what she believes it will take to build a healthier food system for all.

Guests:

• Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health emerita, New York University; her latest book is Sugar Coated: Unboxing the Hidden Forces Shaping America’s Favorite Breakfast Food
