    Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health
    by Marion Nestle · 1 episode

Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation and Marion Nessel wrote a book called Food Politics that was very influential. The difference, I would say, they're great, and I have great admiration for them. But I would say that those were about what not to do.”

    by Abigail Shrier · 1 episode
