Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Zoe Harcombe has a PhD in public health nutrition, she speaks at conferences around the world, she\\u2019s wrote many books, and she\\u2019s a true gem. She currently lives in rural England and apparently has a great mic and internet connection because she sounded like she was in studio with me. She\\u2019s an expert on dietary guidelines (and how unscientific our current ones are), nutrition and obesity.

She\\u2019s a prolific writer and has an amazingly informative site that I use frequently and I suggest people check out to learn about this stuff - it\\u2019s http://zoeharcombe.com\\xa0-\\xa0So let\\u2019s hear what she has to say!

Before we start I have to give a shout out to everyone who\\u2019s contributed to the Indiegogo campaign, I\\u2019m so grateful. We\\u2019re extending it 30 more days and I\\u2019m sure we\\u2019re going to hit our goal if everyone continues to support us by pre-ordering a copy of the Food Lies film.
