Episode QS31: Eric Adams + Bryant Terry (January 1, 2020)

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and award-winning chef, author, and educator Bryant Terry offer an inspiring conversation on food and racial justice as they discuss Eric's book Healthy at Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses.  Eric talks about the terrible commonness of diabetes in his family and the Black community, and his own moment of realization of the health problems that led him to adopt a plant-based diet. He and Bryant talk about the forces that keep people of color from having access to healthy food and preventative care, and the need to think about health not just as an individual, consumer issue but as a collective issue, along with discussing policy ideas and some great recipes.
