Listen "Who’s Really Deciding What We Eat?: Marion Nestle"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Know Your Food, Marion Nestle—nutritionist, author, molecular biologist, and public health advocate—joins us to reveal how powerful food industry lobbying, marketing, and policy shape what ends up on our plates—and often work against public health. We dive into how nutrition science gets distorted by corporate interests, why ultra-processed foods dominate grocery shelves, and how our personal beliefs and culture often influence what we eat more than science. If you care about understanding what really drives our food choices, this conversation is well worth your time.This conversation was recorded live as part of our Know Your Food event series at our warehouse in Bushwick. Keep up with our mission to support regenerative agriculture and slowly change how New York eats.Follow us for exclusive updates, future events, and more on Instagram at @farmtopeople—and visit farmtopeople.com to learn more about how you can get the farmers market delivered to your door.
