036 - Diets and Californian Cell Phones

Dr. Yoni Freedhoff guest stars to discuss our changing food environment. He talks dieting, The Biggest Loser, food frequency questionnaires, and the Cornell Food Lab fiasco. He also valiantly defends his children against the Don Drapers of the world. Also on the show: California issues guidelines for people worried about cell phones and how these guidelines were released is a really wacky story involving “FREEEEDOM!”; electricity to fight cancer; and Chris’ The More You Know wholesome message regarding driving.
