The podcast episodes discuss how the practices of the processed food industry, such as engineering hyperpalatable and addictive foods, have played a significant role in the rise of obesity and related health issues.
The episodes highlight how the industry has prioritized profits over public health, and advocate for addressing the underlying structural issues rather than relying solely on weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
The topics covered in the episodes include the connection between obesity and trauma, the impact of processed foods on the brain, the 'obesogenic' environment created by the industry, and the need for a more holistic, multi-stakeholder approach to addressing the crisis.
