Mighty Pursuit Podcast

Dr. Marion Nestle is a molecular biologist, nutritionist and public health advocate. She’s authored dozens of books, and many consider her to be the top food researcher in the world. With a career spanning over 50 years, she’s been at the front lines fighting the corruption in the food industry for longer than many of us have lived. In fact, Forbes ranked her #2 on their list of “most important foodies”. 
 
In this conversation, we’ll be unpacking one of the biggest injustices in the world today, which is that food companies are knowingly feeding us products that cause disease and early death. It’s happening right under our nose, but it gets a fraction of attention that it should.
