EP. 226: In today’s solo episode, I’m exploring some hot-button topics surrounding RFK Jr. and the Obama administration, especially in relation to food policy. I’ll unpack the criticism currently surrounding RFK Jr. and share why I’ve been a long-time fan of his environmental and health activism. Then, we’ll examine the Obama administration’s handling of GMOs, school lunch programs, and processed foods. While many praise the Obamas for their efforts to improve public health, I’ll reveal the lesser-known policies that may have hindered true progress, especially when it comes to our food system. Tune in for a closer look at the intersection of politics, food, and health.
