Description
We’re told what we eat is a personal choice, but is it? From the engineered addictiveness of ultra-processed food to the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, gendered expectations and deep health inequalities, this panel asks the questions the food industry would rather bury.
Milli Hill, author of Ultra Processed Women, Dr David Cox, neuroscientist and author of The Age Code, and Nureen Glaves, chef, public health nutritionist and founder of Feed Me Good, come together to challenge one of the biggest myths in food culture.
Expect a frank, wide-ranging conversation about power, access and what it really takes to change the way we eat.
About the Speaker
Nureen Glaves
Nureen Glaves started Feed Me Good because as a black, disabled and neurodivergent, public health information too often misses the people who need it most — and when it does reach them, it’s frequently confusing, judgmental, or disconnected from real life.
