Eat Green Make Green Episode 152: Suzi Gerber & Chinese Meat Imports & Behavioral Change
“You’re robbing Peter to pay Paul when you choose the $2 hamburger today and pay the $35 copay at the doctor next month.”
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the awesome Suzi Gerber. Suzi is an Author, Writer for VegNews, and Researcher at Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition. We talk about her investigation of Tyson (one of the largest meat companies in the US) importing and suspiciously donating chicken at the beginning of the pandemic, her theory why that chicken may have caused outbreaks throughout the US, her take on behavioral change when it comes to diet, the importance of identity change when changing your habits, the difference between a nutritionist and a dietician, the problem of specializations in medicine, the short term thinking of eating poorly only to pay more in the long run on healthcare, the power of community to increase an individual’s buying power, and all about her latest book Plant-Based Gourmet.
