Food System Failures and Health Impacts

Our current food system is a national emergency. It’s intricately designed to confuse and mislead consumers, making healthy choices difficult and contributing to America’s chronic disease epidemic. In this episode, I sit down with Senator Cory Booker to delve into the systemic issues impacting our diet, food labeling, and the power of policy change. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• How food packaging is designed to confuse or mislead consumers
• The link between the food system, chronic illness, and the unintended consequences of food policies that increase disease and healthcare costs.
• The harmful effects of ultra-processed foods
• The negative impact of industrial farming practices on the environment, soil health, and the nutritional quality of food
• The importance of personal health advocacy and broader public health initiatives to transform the food system, improve health outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs

Uncover the truth behind our food politics and discover how informed choices can lead to a healthier future. This conversation was hosted by Sixth and I in Washington, DC.
