When the people who are trying to sell you something sponsor research that concludes the thing being sold will benefit you in a number of ways and you’d be crazy not to buy it, maybe the actual crazy thing is trusting that these people have your best interests at heart and aren’t manipulating information to influence your decisions. Yet food companies — especially in the United States — do this very thing every day.

On this episode, we talk to Marion Nestle, the Paulette Goddard Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University, and the author of Food Politics, Soda Politics, and Unsavory Truth: How Food Companies Skew the Science of What We Eat. Here, we get into how pervasive the food industry is in corrupting science to support its own agendas (i.e., making money), how it lobbies Congress to shape policy that makes such manipulation as easy as possible, the damage this causes to the health of our society, and what we can do to spot food industry deception and protect ourselves against it. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
