EP36: Food, Health, and Injustice: Radical Truth for Every Body with Ali Shapiro

Whoa, this is a deep one. Ali and I were connected through a
mutual friend because of some common history… cancer
survivors, Penn grads, podcast hosts, shake-things-up types.


This could have been several episodes, as we discuss some
HUGE topics from health care to power structures to privilege
to patriarchy to emotional eating to cancer and more.
 Ali’s incredibly passionate
and knowledgeable. She works in the health and
wellness industry to disrupt systems that aren’t working and
help people advocate for their own healing.


In our conversation we get intense, but also with humor and
hope.  Ali jokes, “Hi I’m Ali. I want to burn down the
patriarchy. What do you do?” We decided we need to host our
own style of cocktail party, where we talk about real things
that matter to us and the world.  It’s that kind of show
today… enjoy and please share it with your people.






In this convo we get into:






Speaking truth to power

Childhood cancer and pesticide exposure

The “nesting dolls” of capitalism, patriarchy, white
supremacy and AND our health

The inequitable systems and structures of why people are
in poor health

Our battles with food, eating, and our bodies and a
historical perspective

Binge eating and emotional eating

The public health injustice with food deserts and poverty

How we’re not social-media-cocktail-party types

Adverse Childhood Experience scores (ACE) and our adult
food relationships
