One Planet: How food companies manipulate nutrition science

  On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we’ll rebroadcast our conversation with Professor Marion Nestle, author of Unsavory Truth: How Food Companies Skew the Science of What We Eat. 

She reveals how the food industry manipulates nutrition science and shapes our understanding of health. She says we need and deserve sound nutrition advice aimed at promoting public health—not corporate interests. So how do we make that happen?
