E34: Obesity Isn’t a Mystery—It’s Portions, Profits & Policy

Dr. Marion Nestle, leading nutrition expert and author of Food Politics, joins the show to expose how food industry funding distorts science, policy, and our diets.

Guest info: Dr. Marion Nestle is a renowned nutritionist, author, and Professor Emerita at NYU, known for her influential work on food politics, industry influence on science, and public health advocacy.

Topics discussed:

  • The hidden influence of food industry funding on science and dietary guidelines
  • Her time working on the Surgeon General’s Report and conflicts within federal agencies
  • GMO policy, labeling battles, and the power of Monsanto
  • Attending the World Economic Forum and seeing global power dynamics up close
  • The rise in obesity and ultra-processed food
  • Why portion sizes—not just ingredients—may best explain America’s health crisis
  • Career longevity and achieving late-life success in academia

Best quotes:

  • “Larger portions are a sufficient explanation for obesity—you don’t really need anything more complicated than that.”
  • “People eat what’s in front of them. If the muffin is 600 calories, they’ll eat all 600.”
  • “Industry-funded research almost always favors the sponsor. I can usually guess who funded a study just by reading the title.”
  • “My two years in Washington? I refer to it as federal prison.”
