Sylvain Charlebois, ‘The Food Professor’, Senior Director at Agri-Food Analytics Lab, and Professor of Faculties of Management and Agriculture at Dalhousie University spoke with Sue Smith, in for Aaron Rand

Researchers and analysts are beginning to ask whether two powerful forces are quietly reshaping how and why people eat: the rise of GLP-1 medications and the constant churn of food trends. What happens when drugs like Ozempic don't just reduce appetite but change how the body processes food, forcing users to rethink nutrition to avoid side effects and maintain balance? Could that shift create new demands the food industry is already preparing to meet? And at the same time, why do consumers continue to chase new diets, ingredients, and health claims month after month? What is driving this persistent search for the next solution, even as advice keeps changing? We examine whether these developments are connected, how pharmaceutical intervention may be accelerating longer-term shifts in food culture, and what it reveals about the forces shaping modern eating habits. Sylvain Charlebois, professor at Dalhousie University and director of its Agri-Food Analytics Lab, and Samantha King, professor and director of the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University, discuss nutrition, behaviour, and the emerging questions at the intersection of medicine, markets, and consumer choice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Larry Ostola speaks with Sylvain Charlebois about his book, Poutine Nation. Poutine Nation traces the evolution of poutine from its origins in rural Quebec to its status as a global phenomenon. Though it was once dismissed as lowbrow junk food, poutine has now earned a place in fine dining, fast food chains, and global pop culture. Through a mix of history, cultural analysis, and personal anecdotes, Poutine Nation examines the social and economic forces behind food trends, exploring why some dishes fade into obscurity while others, like poutine, become beloved worldwide. With a keen eye for detail and a touch of humour, leading food scientist Dr. Sylvain Charlebois investigates poutine's role in Quebec's cultural identity, its place in Canada's culinary landscape, and the politics surrounding its success. He also explores the evolution of food trends, the psychology of taste, and the ways in which poutine's global popularity reflects broader changes in how we eat and connect through food. Sylvain Charlebois is a professor of management and the director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. He is a co-host of The Food Professor podcast.

Broadcasting live from the vibrant show floor of the SIAL Food Innovation Show in Montreal, this episode of The Food Professor Podcast delivers a dynamic blend of industry insight, macroeconomic analysis, and a compelling first-ever deep dive into the fast-growing pet food sector. Our guest on this episode is Dylan Munro, Canadian-born COO and Co-Founder of Spot & Tango. Munro unpacks how the company is disrupting traditional pet food with its human-grade, vet-developed meals delivered via a direct-to-consumer subscription model. At the center of its innovation is FreshDry™ “UnKibble,” a product that bridges the gap between fresh and dry food—offering both nutritional integrity and convenience. With millions of meals already served in the U.S., Munro explains how the company is thoughtfully adapting its operations, logistics, and value proposition for Canadian pet parents—highlighting broader trends in premiumization, transparency, and health-conscious consumption across both human and pet food categories. In the news, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois pivot to the week's most pressing food and agriculture news. They begin with a wide-ranging macro discussion. Central banks, including the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve, are holding interest rates steady amid geopolitical volatility, including disruptions stemming from the Iran war and the blockages in the Strait of Hormuz. The hosts explore how these pressures ripple through global supply chains, commodity pricing, and ultimately food costs and will result in food inflation towards the top of the estimate band for 2026 of 6%. The conversation then turns to Canada's evolving fiscal strategy, including a spring fiscal update and debate over a potential sovereign wealth fund, drawing comparisons to the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund. They assess what this could mean for long-term agricultural investment and national food security. Data takes center stage with a discussion of the Canadian Food Sentiment Index from Dalhousie University's Agri-Food Analytics Lab, supported by Caddle. The hosts unpack key findings on consumer confidence, affordability concerns, and shifting perceptions of the food system. They also tackle the increasingly controversial topic of surveillance pricing—what it is, whether it exists in practice, and how regulators and retailers are responding to the political pressure. The episode wraps with a series of sharp, fast-moving stories: follow-up legal action by Quebec's maple syrup federation over alleged product adulteration, grassroots innovation from food banks experimenting with fresh produce, and the growing influence of creator-led food entrepreneurship—highlighted by a Montreal restaurateur hitting one million YouTube subscribers. The show closes on a celebratory note with the expansion of a local restaurant, reinforcing the resilience and creativity of Indie restaurants.

In a wide-ranging interview, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois ("The Food Professor") discusses whether lab-grown (cellular) meat is overhyped, citing consumer acceptance, cost, and labeling as key barriers, though he found lab-grown chicken indistinguishable in taste and notes potential for nutrient customization. The conversation then turns to Canadian food inflation, arguing there is little evidence grocers are gouging consumers via higher margins, though grocers pressure suppliers through fees, affecting prices and supply-chain discipline. Charlebois contends food inflation is largely structural and policy-driven, pointing to trade barriers, carbon tax impacts, logistics, supply management, counter-tariffs, and the GST holiday's inflationary effect. He proposes solutions focused on competition, tax relief, logistics investment, and policy reform, and closes with a cautious view of ultra-processed food rhetoric, emphasizing consumer information over bans.   Dr. Sylvain Charlebois is a professor of food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University and director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab, where his work focuses on food distribution, food policy, food security, and food safety. Widely known as "The Food Professor," he is one of Canada's most recognized voices on food inflation, grocery pricing, supply chains, and the future of food. His research has been featured in major outlets including The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Globe and Mail, and he also hosts The Food Professor Podcast. In this episode, he breaks down what's really driving food prices in Canada, whether grocers are being unfairly blamed, the debate around lab-grown meat, and how ultra-processed foods and GLP-1 drugs are reshaping the food industry.   Sylvain / The Food Professor The Food Professor on X — https://x.com/FoodProfessor Sylvain Charlebois on LinkedIn — https://ca.linkedin.com/in/thefoodprofessor The Food Professor Podcast — https://the-food-professor.simplecast.com/ Food Tech / Salmon AquaBounty — https://aquabounty.com/our-salmon/why-aquabounty-salmon FDA AquAdvantage Salmon Fact Sheet — https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/aquadvantage-salmon/aquadvantage-salmon-fact-sheet Sustainable Blue — https://www.sustainableblue.com/ Canada Food Policy / Data Canada Grocery Code of Conduct — https://canadacode.org/ Code of Conduct Page — https://canadacode.org/code/code-of-conduct/ Health Canada Front-of-Package Nutrition Symbol — https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/nutrition-labelling/front-package.html Statistics Canada Household Income — https://www.statcan.gc.ca/hub-carrefour/quality-life-qualite-vie/prosperity-prosperite/household-income-revenu-menage-eng.htm CUSMA — https://www.international.gc.ca/trade-commerce/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/agr-acc/cusma-aceum/index.aspx?lang=eng GST/HST Holiday Page — https://www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/child-and-family-benefits/gst-hst-holiday-tax-break.html David Dodge, Bank of Canada Profile — https://www.bankofcanada.ca/profile/david-dodge/ Companies / Brands Mentioned Loblaw Companies — https://loblaw.ca/ Sobeys — https://www.sobeys.com/ Walmart Canada — https://www.walmartcanada.ca/ CBC Organization Profile — https://federal-organizations.canada.ca/profil.php?OrgID=CBC&lang=en Johnson & Johnson — https://www.jnj.com/ McDonald's Canada — https://www.mcdonalds.com/ca/en-ca.html GLP-1 / Weight Loss Drugs Ozempic Canada — https://www.ozempic.ca/en_ca.html Wegovy Canada — https://www.wegovy.ca/en_ca.html Media / Podcast Reference The Joe Rogan Experience — https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast  00:37 Lab Meat Hype Cycle 01:50 How Cultured Meat Works 03:06 Acceptance and Cost Barriers 04:46 Taste Test and Nutrition Tweaks 06:54 Vegans Vegetarians and Labeling 14:53 Canada Food Inflation Debate 15:57 Grocers Fees and Supplier Squeeze 17:40 Policy Roots and Middle Class Squeeze 21:06 Fixes Without More Spending 23:27 Supply Management Price Premiums 24:51 Politics Crises and Inflation Spending 26:53 Inflation And Taxes 27:38 Conservative Policy Impact 28:19 Grocer Margins And Manufacturing 30:05 GST Holiday Backfire 33:18 Media Blind Spots 35:05 Counter Tariffs Price Ripple 37:41 Carney Versus Poilievre 42:53 Media Subsidies And CBC 44:39 Ultra Processed Food Debate 48:54 Addiction Obesity And GLP1 51:30 Regulation Tradeoffs Wrap Up 52:51 Where To Follow Closing   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

An Alberta cattle producer has been steering his herd through years of drought and says it feels pretty good to have more 'jingle in his jeans' right now with record high beef prices. And a Winnipeg butcher says in spite of eye popping beef prices, his customers so far are still willing to fork over big bucks for the right cut. We speak with Sylvain Charlebois, a professor and senior director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, and a visiting scholar at McGill University about what's fueling Canada's soaring beef prices — and how that can change.
