If your life is anything like mine you think about eating healthy. To the extent that actually happens in my life, I owe it to my wife Jacqui. I am a willing participant but she makes it happen. That's probably a big part of the reason I was interested when I became aware of the new book titled Formerly Known As Food by Kristin Lawless. FYI: Jacqui is glad I'm done with the book she wants it now. The other reason was a private message I received on Linkedin but we talk about that in this episode of the City Voice Podcast...so I won't spoil that here. No doubt many of us agree that eating healthy has enormous value. We probably also agree that the big producers of food in America and much of the civilized western world care more about profit than they do the quality of the end product. So what do we do? What's the way forward? Many of the answers are in Formerly Known As Food. This is a thoughtful look at what the state of our food is, some ideas on what to do and not to do now, possible big-picture political fixes and a lot more. Here are some of the topics we discuss on this episode of the City Voice Podcast. How did we get to where our food supply is today? The food supply is changing our bodies on a very deep level. Eating organic? Vegetarian or Vegan? Maybe organic or vegan... ish? Are you wasting your money? Animal protein in your diet? Good or Bad? What kind of choices should you make in this area? What do you know about big mono-crop organic farming? Huh? Why does that matter? Packed organic foods? I'm good to go...right? It's organic and BPA free. We discuss the realities. What do American babies increasingly no longer have in their diets that they need...and what does baby formula have to do with it? Should babies be eating what most of us think of as baby food? Given the state of our food supply, what can we do? How are our regulatory agencies doing when it comes to overseeing our food? How does the food industry get us hooked from day one? What is the impact of fewer people having basic cooking and food preparation skills? Thanks for listening. Don’t forget to subscribe to City Voice and share with your friends.
