Our global food system is feeding more people than ever, yet some argue it is also making more people sick, more unequal, and more vulnerable. How did we get here, and more importantly, how do we change course? In this timely and deeply human conversation, global nutrition expert Dr. Stuart Gillespie joins Chatter that Matters to unpack the forces shaping what we eat, who profits, and who pays the price. Drawing on decades of frontline experience across India, Africa, and within the United Nations, Gillespie blends memoir and manifesto to expose the structural realities behind ultra-processed foods, corporate power, broken policy, and the growing tension between undernutrition and obesity worldwide. This is not a theoretical discussion. It is a grounded exploration of food justice, political will, activism, and the difficult trade-offs facing governments, industry, and consumers alike. Gillespie challenges the idea that individual choice alone can fix systemic problems, and makes a compelling case for coordinated, courageous action. The conversation expands to Canada's role in shaping the future of food, with insights from Lisa Ashton, Agricultural Policy Lead at RBC. She shares how Canada's agricultural strength, innovation capacity, and collaborative ecosystems can help drive healthier, more equitable food systems at home and globally. If you care about health, sustainability, equity, or the future we are building through the food we produce and consume, this episode will change how you see your plate. Listen now, and join the conversation about what comes next.   To purchase Dr. Gillespie's Book Food Fight:  https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/food-fight-from-plunder-and-profit-to-people-and-planet/9781443475297.html

AmericaFest wasn't just another conservative gathering—it exposed deep fractures over truth, loyalty, and discernment that the movement can't afford to ignore. I break down the explosive clashes surrounding Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and the dangerous pull of conspiracy thinking that is confusing a rising generation. What's really at stake here isn't personalities or platforms, but whether believers can separate conviction from distraction in a moment that demands clarity. If you want to understand what's actually happening beneath the headlines, this conversation pulls the curtain back.   Podcast Episode 1977: Lance Covers the AmericaFest Food Fight | don't miss this!

What if the reason you keep failing isn't a lack of discipline, but a lack of skill?We've all been there: white-knuckling through a diet, only to have the craving hit and the whole thing unravel. For years, society told us that struggling with food meant we were undisciplined. But if you're like most women, you know that strategy is a futile endeavor In this candid episode, we're tearing down the old paradigm and diving into the real reason your resistance keeps failing. You'll learn:Why the "Abstinence Violation Effect" is the psychological safety valve that guarantees your willpower will backfire. We expose the science behind why "just trying harder" is the most common mistake.The surprising link between your struggle with food and your ingrained, subconscious programming around worthiness. (We'll show you how to finally stop confirming the belief that you're weak and start wearing the invisible glasses that reflect your true deserving nature.) The powerful mantra that changed the host's life: Replace Willpower with Skillpower. It's not about being stronger; it's about learning the right combination of tools to unlock massive, lasting change.If you're ready to stop the fight, end the self-shame, and finally operate from beliefs that serve you, how valuable would it be to discover a path where small steps lead to massive change? Listen in. Your time spent struggling is not wasted—it was just preparation for the skills you're about to learn.Did you enjoy the episode? DM me on instagram and let me know what you thought.

Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka’s last meal, and the reason why she sometimes carries cooked scallops in her bag, trace back to her unstable, unpredictable childhood. She talks about being kidnapped by her grandmother and why a gluten-free spaghetti dinner brings her comfort, even as someone who doesn’t have a gluten sensitivity. Atsuko’s first foray into entertainment was working at an ice cream chain that made employees sing and dance for tips. Atsuko loved it, but host Rachel Belle interviews two other folks who had no idea they had to perform at their restaurant jobs, until they saw it happening on their first day. One at Chicago’s famous Wiener’s Circle and another at a now-defunct steak house chain. Atsuko is on tour now! You can also watch her standup specials on HBO and Hulu.

Soul Eaters: The Hidden History Of Medicinal Cannibalism In Europe In Early Modern Europe, the question wasn't ‘should you eat humans for medicine', it was ‘what type of humans should you eat for medicine?' Though some attempted to erase the cannibalistic practices of this period from our history books, our expert explains how people were using human bones, blood, and fat to heal themselves. Food Fight Pt.2: Demands For A Healthier Future The modern food industry has turned our diets into a profit-driven enterprise, often at the expense of public health. Our expert this week proposes a new framework to rebuild a healthier, more ethical global food system. Though there's a lot of work to be done, we're already seeing ongoing policy efforts and growing awareness around the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sweet and boisterous, rapper Rico Nasty professes her love for making music; cooking for the people she adores most; and her grandmas, all while promoting her new album, Lethal. Her conversation with host Rachel Belle bounces from Maryland boardwalk fries (we’ll tell you what they are!) to Taco Bell (we learn what the Cinnamon Twists are made from) to a popular Puerto Rican party snack her grandma makes her, and only her, as a treat.

Yes, food TV host Tilly Ramsay is the daughter of famed chef and TV host Gordan Ramsay, but she is working hard to pave her own way! Tilly recently graduated from culinary school, which she paid for herself, thank you very much, and she tells me about her fateful first day of school, where she was faced with eating her three least favorite foods. Host Rachel Belle asks Tilly the elephant-in-the-room question: Does her dad shout at his family like he shouts at TV contestants? And Tilly explains why a classic Sunday roast is so special to the people of England. If you want to be a chef, do you need to go to culinary school? I chat with two chefs, a sister and brother – one who went to culinary school and one who didn’t – about the pros and cons. And they share a bit about their creative takes on Navajo cooking.

In a lightning round with host Rachel Belle, Matteo, a self-described romantic, shares which celebrity wedding he had the honor of singing at earlier this summer; sets the record straight on what bruschetta really is; and discloses the only dish his dad – famed singer Andrea Bocelli – has ever cooked for him (and why most Italians would be angry with the way he makes it).

Walmart just made a game-changing announcement: by 2027, its store brands will eliminate synthetic dyes and dozens of other ingredients long banned in Europe and Canada but still found in American food. From petroleum byproducts in kids' snacks to hormone disruptors linked to ADHD and asthma, we dig into what's really been hiding in plain sight on your plate — and why this shift matters most for struggling families who rely on low-cost brands. We also look at the politics behind the timeline, the pressure from RFK Jr.'s environmental crusades, and the push to stop Democrats from backdooring these additives back into circulation. Finally, we explore a shocking NPR/Marist poll showing a surge in Americans — especially Democrats — who now say political violence may be necessary. What does it mean when food, health, and politics collide? This episode unpacks it all.

Like any card-carrying Italian worth his focaccia, singer Matteo Bocelli says he could eat pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner! From his home in Tuscany, Matteo tells host Rachel Belle about the super-simple, but deeply delicious, sauce recipe he’s been trying to perfect, inspired by a three-Michelin-star restaurant, and why you should always choose Italian pasta made from ancient grains. You’ve probably heard the tales: A gluten-sensitive American travels to Italy or France, and can magically stuff their face with croissants, baguettes and pasta without any negative consequences. Rachel asks Dr. Alessio Fasano, professor of nutrition and a Celiac and gluten expert and researcher at Harvard Medical School, if, and how, this is possible. Matteo just released his second album, Falling in Love, and if his name sounds familiar, it’s because his dad is Andrea Bocelli, the famous Italian singer.
