On this episode of “Death in The Garden”, Jake and Maren share their interview with author and science journalist, Nina Teicholz. She is also a member of the Global Food Justice Alliance, an amazing organization that advocates for the rights of all people to have access to nutrient dense animal foods. Nina’s book, The Big Fat Surprise, is an instrumental compilation of scientific research, interviews, and history which describes how we’ve been profoundly misled about dietary fat for over 100 years. In this episode, we break down all of these ideas, talking about the vilification of meat and saturated fat, the dubiousness of epidemiology as a basis for scientific research, the dangers of pushes toward a global diet, the disastrous consequences of food policy, the abysmal state of current health, the horrors of vegetable oils, and so much more.
Please give Nina a follow on Twitter and Instagram, and be sure to read her book, The Big Fat Surprise.
