#5: "Why won't I just eat what's good for me?"

04/13/21 • 23 min

In this week’s episode, Jessica is joined by Reecie as they discuss the question: “Why won’t I just eat what’s good for me?” This question really is asking why we eat food. We don’t eat food just for nutrition – there are so many wonderful reasons why we eat to augment our lives – to celebrate, to comfort, to experience new adventures. This is not to the detriment of our health.

In this episode, Jessica mentions this document about how the marketing has been fabricating insecurities in order to sell products to sell to fix these false problems.
