The Big Fat Surprise — How Fake Science and Bad Food Policy Made Us Fat

Beginning in the 1960s, Americans were told of the evils of saturated fat. From the 1970s through the ’90s, “low fat” was a can’t miss marketing slogan. Abstaining from meat, eggs, butter, and milk would keep us thin and stave off heart attacks, we were told. Grains and fiber were the answer for health and longevity, according to the experts. At one point the government’s food pyramid recommended 11 servings of grain per day. (Seriously? Livestock rations contain less grain!) Turns out, the so-called experts were wrong. Worse than just wrong, many of the experts have been lying to us, influenced by money from processed food companies, big pharma, and animal rights groups. Nina Teicholz, Nutrition Journalist and author of The Big Fat Surprise, joins Damian for this feast of truth about food, health, and consumption of animal-based fat.

With a mix of monologue and guest episodes, this one puts the producer at the center. Damian has strong opinions and he’s not afraid to share them. You can agree or disagree, but he clearly knows his subject matter and audience well, and is always thought-provoking. His is a valuable perspective I try to keep top-of-mind.
