Ultra-Processed Food Is the New Tobacco—How Big Food Manipulates Science, Policy, & Your Cravings | Michael Pollan

The modern food industry is built for profit, not health.
Ultra-processed foods dominate grocery shelves, fueling the
epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and chronic disease. But how did we
get here? And what can we do to fix it? In this episode of The Dr.
Hyman Show, I sit down with Michael Pollan, award-winning
journalist and food activist, to break down the hidden forces
shaping our food system and the urgent need for change. In this
powerful conversation, you’ll discover: How a handful of
corporations control our entire food supply—and why that’s a
problem. The shocking truth about ultra-processed foods and how
they’re engineered to keep you hooked. Why our food system
collapsed during the pandemic and what it revealed about its
fragility. How food companies quietly buy up health brands and use
misleading labels to keep consumers in the dark. The role of policy
and lobbying in keeping unhealthy food cheap and widely available.
Make sure to tune in—this is a conversation every American needs to
hear. View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips
