Food Fearmongering at the Center for Science in the Public Interest with Sherene Chou, MS RD

Food Fearmongering at the Center for Science in the Public Interest with Sherene Chou, MS RD

The Center for Science in the Public Interest is the original nutrition influencer. It has used the same alarmist language that gets traction currently used on social media for over 50 years. Sherene Chou returns to the show to talk about our shared experiences reading CSPI's Nutrition Action Healthletter, and how calories are the things that the org cares about. The two of them find multiple examples of CSPI's racism and sh*ting on cultural foods.

CSPI is a lobbying organization, and if they're setting the priorities what does that mean?
