Food Nudges (Fudges?)
We all need food to stay alive, but when we\u2019re filling up our grocery carts, it\u2019s not like survival is the primary motivator. If you\u2019re listening to this podcast, chances are you live somewhere with food options galore. And if you\u2019re environmentally inclined, you probably take a little more time in deciding what to put in your mouth. Is it healthy? Is it organic? Is it tasty?! So much to think about everytime we eat! Today we have two stories that dive a little deeper into our decision-making process around food. First, we talk to professor Phil Howard, who has investigated the rise of the organic food industry and what it truly means to buy organic products. Then we meet Dr. Tom Robinson, who is at the forefront of understanding the cultural and sociological factors underlying the obesity epidemic in America.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
