How Our Health Suffers Because Of Corruption In The Food System

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and InsideTracker.
Obesity rates have climbed by over 400 percent in the last 60
years. More than half of US adults are overweight or obese, and one
in five children has been clinically diagnosed with obesity. What
the heck is going on to cause this rapid decline in health that’s
also impacting our children at such an alarming rate? Today on the
podcast, I sit down with my friend and business partner Dhru
Purohit for part two of our conversation. We discuss the need for a
radical shift in food policy at the federal level, why fixing the
food system is a bipartisan issue, and the need for transparency to
stop corruption in industry-funded nutrition research and academia
in favor of Big Food’s agenda.   This episode is brought
