In the U.S., over 42% of adults are obese, nearly 12% have diabetes, and around 60% live with at least 1 chronic disease.  Diet-related chronic diseases—including heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers—contribute to approximately 1 million deaths each year.In a country overflowing with food, why are so many of us sick?Host Jason Arora sits down with Neeti Mahajan, food industry exec, to take a big-picture look at how America's modern food system may be doing more harm than good. They explore how ultra-processed foods have fueled epidemics of obesity and diabetes, and why the way we farm is depleting soil and heating up the planet. If you've ever wondered why junk food is so cheap but eating healthy is so hard, or how our dinner plate is connected to climate change, this episode will give you plenty of food for thought. But it's not all doom and gloom—Jason and Neeti also talk about what a better food future could look like.
