He Could Become Anyone on Stage. What Was He Hiding Offstage?Danny Gans was the Man of Many Voices, the highest-paid headliner on the Las Vegas Strip, and the first performer to sell a $100 ticket on the Strip. He could become almost anyone on stage. Privately, he carried a pain he kept hidden. In Voices: The Danny Gans Story, his son Andrew Davies Gans sets out to tell that whole story, the legend and the man, in his directorial debut.In Episode 280, Christian Taylor sits down with director and producer Andrew Davies Gans to talk about the documentary he made about his father. Andrew shares how a baseball injury and his father's death in the same month set him on the path to filmmaking, why he chose to put himself and his family inside the frame, and how the film became a search for the truth about Danny's chronic pain and the legacy he left behind.The conversation traces a three-generation pattern of athletic dreams cut short and lives reinvented in entertainment, from Danny's father singing in the Catskills to Danny's rise from a severed Achilles to the top of the Strip. Andrew talks about comedian Louie Anderson's advice to tell the story the hard way, the Scent of a Woman speech that became one of the film's most powerful edits, and the decision to show his father's chronic pain honestly rather than hide it. It is a conversation about grief, fatherhood, and what we owe the people who came before us.In this episode, you'll learn:How Danny Gans went from a minor league baseball career to becoming the Man of Many Voices in Las VegasWhy three generations of the Gans family traded athletic dreams for lives on stageHow Danny Gans became the first performer to sell a $100 ticket on the Las Vegas StripWhat it takes to direct your first documentary about your own fatherWhy Andrew Davies Gans chose to put himself and his family inside the filmWhat comedian Louie Anderson taught Andrew about telling a story the hard wayHow the Scent of a Woman speech became one of the film's most powerful momentsWhy Andrew decided to tell the truth about his father's struggle with chronic painHow an editor earned a writing credit in the documentary edit roomWhat a three-and-a-half-hour first cut taught Andrew about finding the real filmChapters0:00 Losing his father and his baseball dream in the same month2:09 From a Major League dream to filmmaking: a son finds his father's story5:34 Three generations of dreamers: the grandfather, the Catskills, and a family that reinvents itself7:22 The White Sox draft, a severed Achilles, and Danny's rise to the Man of Many Voices10:54 Why Andrew made the film: a 10th anniversary, a teaser, and a COVID shutdown14:17 Trailer: Voices: The Danny Gans Story, the $100 ticket legend, and a word from Virgil Films18:27 Rebuilding after COVID, and becoming a father mid-production20:42 Choosing vulnerability: the decision to put himself in the film22:57 Louie Anderson and the choice to tell the story the hard way26:30 The hardest truth: the Al Pacino 'Scent of a Woman' edit, chronic pain, and one of millions35:20 First-time filmmaking lessons: why you shouldn't be 100% prepared38:16 Inside the edit room: movie magic and a writing credit for the editor41:48 The Vegas voices: Tony Orlando, Donny Osmond, and Steve Wynn48:37 What's next: narrative films, the festival run, and distribution52:37 DocuView Déjà Vu: Shuffle and Searching for Sugar ManFrequently Asked QuestionsWho was Danny Gans?Danny Gans was a singer, actor, and impressionist billed as The Man of Many Voices.

Was the Poltergeist curse real, or did the world get Heather O'Rourke's story wrong for 38 Years?On February 1, 1988, Heather O'Rourke died at twelve years old. For nearly four decades the world has filled that silence with rumors. She Was Here, the new documentary produced by Brian Pocrass and directed by Nick Bailey, is the first authorized account of what actually happened, told by Heather's mother Kathleen, her sister Tammy, and the people who knew and worked with her.In Episode 279, Christian sits down with producer Brian Pocrass to talk about how She Was Here came together, what it cost to earn the trust of a grieving family that had been burned by Hollywood for nearly four decades, and why he believes Heather's death was completely preventable. Brian is a USC Film School graduate with fifteen years in the entertainment industry who later became an attorney. He calls this his first documentary.At the heart of She Was Here is a question Brian poses to himself as a producer: how much oxygen do you give a lie? Heather's death from a misdiagnosed intestinal condition, treated as Crohn's disease, became, in the tabloid press of the late 1980s, the foundation of what came to be called the Poltergeist curse. Brian's film is a working filmmaker's answer to that question, anchored in legal depositions, family archives, and the testimony of the people who loved her. It is also, as he tells Christian, a film about loss.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why Heather O'Rourke's family broke nearly four decades of silence to participate in She Was HereHow a misdiagnosis took Heather's life at twelve, and what her mother wants every parent to know about medical decisionsHow the Poltergeist curse rumor started, and why Heather's family is finally telling the real storyWhat it actually takes to earn the trust of a grieving family that has been burned by Hollywood for thirty-eight yearsWhy Brian Pocrass, a USC Film School graduate, returned to filmmaking after a fifteen-year career and a transition to lawHow Brian used his legal background to read sealed depositions from the 1991 lawsuit and uncover the real storyWhy directors like Gary Sherman and stars like Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams broke their "Heather Shield" silence for this filmThe first-hand account of the Poltergeist III set explosion in Chicago, told by an eyewitness who was thereHow Brian defines the "illusion of documentary filmmaking" and the rhythm that holds a non-fiction story togetherThe Steven Spielberg interview Brian could not get, and why he is willing to talk about it publiclyThe documentary Brian could not stop thinking about, his DocuView Déjà Vu pickCHAPTERS00:00 Her Death Was Completely Preventable: The Heart of She Was Here00:29 Welcome to Documentary First with Christian Taylor00:52 Meet Brian Pocrass: USC Film School Grad and She Was Here Producer02:25 The Childhood Crush That Fueled a Documentary07:11 The Tipping Point: Why Brian Made the Film09:48 Earning the O'Rourke Family's Trust After an Initial No12:40 The Full Circle Moment: Setting Heather Free14:52 Did Heather's Mom and Sister Feel Heard15:27 Craig T.

The cause was septic shock from an acute bowel obstruction, ultimately traced to a congenital intestinal abnormality that had been misdiagnosed as Crohn's disease. The misdiagnosis is the central tragedy of She Was Here — producer Brian Pocrass calls her death "completely preventable" with the correct diagnosis and a simple surgery. The film's authorized account ends decades of conspiracy speculation about her death.Is the Poltergeist curse real?The "Poltergeist curse" is a tabloid-era rumor that grew from the deaths of four Poltergeist trilogy cast members across the 1980s. Heather O'Rourke's family, who appear throughout She Was Here, reject the curse narrative as a painful misrepresentation of their daughter and sister. The documentary presents the authorized medical and legal record: Heather's death was a misdiagnosed congenital condition, not a curse.Where can I watch the Heather O'Rourke documentary?She Was Here is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The 85-minute documentary was released on February 24, 2026, distributed in the United States by Virgil Films Entertainment and internationally by Indiecan Entertainment.

In this week's Gaslit Nation bonus show, we dive deeper into the "Iron Triangles" of corruption that enabled Epstein's network, with a special focus on the women co-conspirators. Like Trump is the rotting face of a death cult fascist movement that will outlive him, Epstein was a figurehead of a sprawling transnational crime syndicate, one enabled by powerbrokers still operating in plain sight.  Joining this discussion are investigative filmmaker Dave Pederson, the producer of the anti-corruption documentaries Americonned and Super Size Me, and OSINT investigator Patrick Duggan who created a searchable database of the Epstein files before the DOJ could delete them. As Felon 47 uses the might of his regime to harass survivor E. Jean Carroll, for risking her life to stand up to him for sexual assault, they want us demoralized and checked out. Instead, fight back by watching and amplifying her new documentary, out now, Ask E.

Who were the women who worked with Jeffrey Epstein? In Part I of this series, we look at Ghislaine Maxwell, transnational crime royalty as the daughter of MI6/Mossad double-agent and disgraced British media mogul Robert Maxwell, whose dying wish was to connect Maxwell with a young upstart in New York named Epstein.  Joining this discussion are investigative filmmaker Dave Pederson, the producer of the anti-corruption documentaries Americonned and Super Size Me, and OSINT expert Patrick Duggan who created a searchable database of the Epstein files before the DOJ could delete them. We also discuss the analysis by investigative journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez that Maxwell was Epstein's handler in an intelligence long-game going back to the O.S.S., predecessor to the C.I.A.  Important historical context to our discussion: In 2011, then FBI Director Robert Mueller gave the "Iron Triangles" speech, revealing that transnational crime today works like an industry: fancy Western institutions like banks, law firms, and PR firms launder the money and reputations of shadowy crime and rogue intelligence syndicates, who are further served by their paid-off political operatives and politicians. In the speech, Mueller promised to crack down on the head of the Russian mafia, Semion Mogilevich, nicknamed the "boss of all bosses." Instead, Mogilevich was mysteriously taken off of the FBI's Most Wanted List in 2015, at a time the FBI was busting Russian spy rings in New York City, including Kremlin recruitment of college girls, including one Andrea may have encountered at a foreign policy event. A year later, Donald Trump, after decades of financial dealings with dirty Russian money, would be elected president with the Kremlin's illegal help. The 2016 election was a transnational coup decades in the making. In 1999, a high-level U.S. source leaked to the New York Times, undermining a sensitive intelligence operation between the FBI and MI6 to close-in on Russian mafia infiltration in the West, especially Mogilevich. In reporting from that time, The Guardian wrote:  "Author Jeffrey Robinson - whose latest book, The Merger, was published by Simon and Schuster last week - says that organised criminals such as Mogilevich are enjoying massive success using Harvard Business School techniques. 'Mogilevich typifies the new global criminal,' says Robinson. 'These men don't rob banks, they buy them. They take full advantage of globalisation, ill-equipped law enforcement and lax money-laundering laws - especially in Britain - using the City of London as their onshore gateway to the offshore world. 'This case is the tip of the iceberg. The City is an absolute cesspool and it will remain a cesspool because the people in charge don't care. Mogilevich is not the only one, the Bank of New York is not the only place."  Russian oligarchs are the Russian military industrial complex. Mogilevich oversees "weapons trafficking, contract murders, extortion, drug trafficking, and prostitution on an international scale," according to the FBI. It would be easy to buy-off U.S. officials, like the FBI's Charles McGonigal who was paid with our tax dollars to fight the Russian mafia, but was instead on their payroll. Intelligence agencies in the U.S. – the FBI and the CIA – have faced virtually no oversight and accountability for most of their existence, leading to the explosive Church Committee Congressional hearings, exposing that the CIA and FBI were involved in covert mind control experiments, illegal coups and science fiction-style assassination programs, and violent infiltration of political opposition groups on U.S. soil. You can learn more about that in our recent episode on the Church Committee Report – in the show notes. Listen to Part I now. Part II will be out this Thursday as Gaslit Nation's Bonus Show, with a continued discussion of the women who worked with Epstein, and what they may reveal about the Iron Triangles that illegally helped bring a Russian asset/traitor to power.

So Who Was? https://alisav.substack.com/p/epstein-likely-wasnt-the-boss-so February 5, 2026 from The Times: "Jeffrey Epstein was introduced to Ghislaine Maxwell by her brother Kevin as part of a plan for the paedophile financier to help the Maxwell family "move money", according to a previously undisclosed account of the origins of the scandal. Kevin Maxwell, once Britain's biggest bankrupt, was "instructed to meet Epstein by his father", Robert Maxwell, according to FBI records of conversations with a former business associate of the Maxwells that have been released by the US Department of Justice.  Kevin later introduced Ghislaine to Epstein and was responsible for placing her office in New York near Epstein after Robert Maxwell's death in 1991, the business associate is said to have claimed. Kevin allegedly negotiated an "understanding" with Epstein and Ghislaine whereby Epstein "would become involved in the Maxwell financial affairs". https://www.thetimes.com/article/0b5bfceb-3c2a-4ffa-aa2f-74e38a395a1e   US charges Russian 'spies' suspected of trying to recruit New Yorkers https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jan/26/us-charges-alleged-russian-spies-new-york   Traitors in the FBI https://www.gaslitnationpod.com/episodes/traitors-in-the-fbi/ "Donald Barr's 26-page O.S.S. file, obtained from the National Archives, gives a detailed account of his transition from the military to intelligence work.

How do you know if you've found a Joe Amodei—or a predatory film distributor?That's the question Christian Taylor explores in this episode of Documentary First: The Deep Dive, after her conversation with Joe Amodei—filmmaker, 40-year industry veteran, and owner of Virgil Films Entertainment (Supersize Me, Restrepo, Forks Over Knives). What struck her wasn't just what Joe said about Cat Fest 2026—it was the warmth and trust in their conversation. In her experience, that kind of rapport between filmmaker and distributor is genuinely rare.So she did some digging. What she found was both infuriating and clarifying: there's no Better Business Bureau for film distribution. No government agency protecting filmmakers. No licensing board. The system that exists is word of mouth, peer networks, and a few dedicated nonprofits trying to shine a light in the darkness.What You'll Learn: - The 5 essential steps for vetting a film distributor before signing - Red flags that should make you walk away from any distribution deal - Why The Film Collaborative's Distributor ReportCard is the closest thing to “Yelp for distributors” - What filmmakers really say about predatory distributors (anonymous quotes) - Christian's own distribution horror story—and how she got her film backThe Framework for Finding the Good Guys: 1.

In a world that whispers "Greed is good" through every ad, click, and swipe—where Black Friday frenzies and "Super Size Me" define our appetites—Jesus issues a urgent warning in Luke 12:13-15: "Take heed and beware of greed, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."This Sunday, we continued our series "Curing the Seven Deadly Sins" as we dove deeper into how we can go from "Greed to Generosity." We unpacked how the Gospel transforms hoarders into joyful givers who declare, "Even if I lack, God is enough."This week we explored how we can be "Rich toward God" and free from possessions that possess you.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Super Size Me (2004)

Once upon a time, the dangers of eating too much fast food were at the front of our minds thanks to documentaries like Super Size Me. But that was more than 20 years ago. Since then, the topic may have fallen off the front pages, but fast food chains have been on the march, opening up across Australia. Today, regional editor Benjamin Preiss and senior health reporter Henrietta Cook on the growing movement to halt the growth of the "golden arches" in regional areas.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 With Boomer & Gio out, Jerry and Willie Colon hosted. They discussed NFL preseason, with Jerry highlighting Jameis Winston and praising Aaron Glenn's control. C-Lo's update confirmed starters playing and covered Anthony Richardson's injury, Joe Burrow's "average" performance, Arch Manning's NFL plans, Sal Licata's Mets comments, and two more sex toys thrown at a WNBA game, which was also the final segment's topic. Hour 2 The hour began with fast food and Supersize Me, leading to a lengthy discussion about Buc-ee's, unknown to Jerry. C-Lo returned for an update, but not before we discussed our Pebble Beach trip and whether Eddie and Al could fight a mountain lion. We heard Giants camp audio, including Jameis Winston. A caller then wished Boomer would be eaten by a mountain lion at Pebble Beach, while another advised Eddie and Al on avoiding mountain lion and snake attacks. Hour 3 Optimism surrounds the Giants and Jets pre-season. The show discusses why some NFL players are injury-prone while others aren't, with Willie suggesting some aren't "big boy bodies" yet. C-Lo provides an update, including a comedic production piece and a ten-year-old audio clip of Todd Bowles explaining Geno Smith's broken jaw. Willie shares his memory of the incident. Former Eagle Chris Long praises the Giants' defense. The hour concludes with Eddie Murphy discussing his top four films. Hour 4 Willie Colon, now an author, discusses his book on IVF with his wife. The Mets and Yankees face big weekend series; we cover their major issues. C-Lo provides an update, sharing more memories of Willie's Jets days, including Rex Ryan playing Mark Sanchez in a preseason game for the Snoopy trophy, despite Sanchez expecting not to play. Smoothie King and Heinz have a new ketchup smoothie. The Moment of The Day: Eddie & Al vs. a mountain lion. Willie Colon recounts meeting the other Willie Colon.

The hour began with fast food and Supersize Me, leading to a lengthy discussion about Buc-ee's after Willie introduced it to an unaware Jerry. C-Lo provided an update, preceded by talk of our upcoming Pebble Beach trip and whether Eddie and Al could survive a mountain lion attack while hiking. We heard mic'd-up audio from Giants camp, including Jameis Winston. A caller then suggested it would be "epic" if Boomer was eaten by a mountain lion at Pebble Beach, and another educated Eddie & Al on avoiding attacks from mountain lions and snakes.

Transformation doesn't begin in a wellness plan—it starts with one honest moment of saying, “I want more for myself.” Frank Ferrante's raw and remarkable story is a powerful reminder that healing is rarely linear and never perfect. Through addiction, regret, radical self-awareness, and rediscovery, Frank reveals that the heart of wellness is not about fixing what's broken—it's about reconnecting to love, service, and soul-level authenticity. His journey invites us to slow down, stop chasing illusions, and start showing up for ourselves and others with compassion, courage, and a deep sense of gratitude. Key Takeaways: Healing is an emotional and spiritual process that requires honesty, not perfection. Connection—with yourself and with others—is the antidote to addiction, loneliness, and despair. Regret doesn't have to define you; it can become a teacher when met with grace and accountability. True wellness is simple: kindness, presence, and treating everyone (including yourself) like they matter. Gratitude grounds you in the present and softens even the hardest parts of the past.   About Frank Ferrante: At 54 years old, Ferrante was the least likely candidate for a major personal transformation. He weighed close to 300 pounds and suffered from a slew of issues that were his unhappy legacy as an ex-junkie and ex-alcoholic: hepatitis C, chronic fatigue, joint pain, respiratory issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, and a libido that had gone into early retirement. He thought that "vegan" was a planet, "wellness" was not in his vocabulary, and he couldn't be bothered with self-help. He was for those very reasons the best candidate for a major personal transformation.  One day, he stumbled into Café Gratitude—a vegan raw food restaurant run by three 20-something hipsters. Unbeknownst to him, they'd been thinking about finding someone to put on a raw food diet and making a documentary that would be the polar opposite of Super Size Me. Ferrante was looking for something, anything, to create a shift in his life. As he says, "Like zillions of people, I was hungry not so much for food, but for love." Never mind that he was old enough to be the boys' father or that he'd ridiculed the New Age herd for years—he accepted them pretty much on the spot as his new "transformational cheerleaders." With the young men's unexpected support and guidance, Ferrante began a redemptive odyssey that included a plant-based diet, yoga, and daily affirmations—but then faced a battle for his life when his underlying addictions rose up to claim him. May I Be Frank chronicles Ferrante's experience of being the subject of a physical, mental, and spiritual makeover and also describes what happened next, post-transformation: he learned to love again.

In this week's edition of the 23 Podcast, Fr. Jeff explains that he does not eat two of Parker's favorites - pancakes with syrup on them and chicken nuggets. Parker then attempts to defend himself in ordering McDonald's Happy Meals with their world-famous Chicken Nuggets as the entrée, which is met with disgust from Fr. Jeff after watching “SuperSize Me.” Following all of this nonsense, the pair read and unpack this weekend's initial Gospel reading and talk upcoming Parish announcements.

In part two of the Shuffle Bois' two-part series on Burger, they turn to the goliath-pioneer of fast food: McDonalds. They trace the company's flailing attempts to rebrand itself in the 2000s, some of the lasting innovations that they implemented in the decade, and outline some of the reasons that McDonalds' revenue peaked in the 2000s before starting to decline. They pair this brief corpo-history with a film review of the 2000s documentary “Super Size Me,” which had some influence on the fall of McDonalds.Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

Twenty years ago, Morgan Spurlock released his low-budget documentary Super Size Me, and achieved success that most documentary filmmakers can only dream about. The film made millions at the box office, it was nominated for an Academy Award, and it turned Morgan into a star. To this day, the film is still shown in middle school and high school health classes across the country. But in 2017, Morgan made a shocking confession that derailed his career and called into question Super Size Me's original claims. Earlier this year, Morgan died of cancer. In this week's show, Sporkful senior producer Andres O'Hara talks with some of the people closest to Morgan to figure out: Who really was Morgan Spurlock? How did Super Size Me become such a huge hit? And after all these years, should we still be showing it to kids?The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Nora Ritchie, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.

Morgan Spurlock passed recently from cancer at a young age. If you're not familiar with who that is, that is the director of the documentary "Super Size Me," where he ate McDonald's food every day for a month. While, we can't say for sure that this caused his untimely death, we can say that sugar causes many health complications such as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. Today, we're going to look into a few ways that you can reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. We're also going to look at a few hidden sugars and one food that we thought was good for us, but maybe not as good as we might believe.

You develop grit and resilience. It's a muscle that you can strengthen. The 4 root causes of cravings: Bacterial On a biochemical level, we are as much bacterial as we are human.   Nutritional . Your body craves what it needs. Look at your cravings in more of a curious way. Emotional . This gets shut out of dietary theory which is a shame. We are emotional creatures. Physical . Sex and food. Vitamin P is the thing that we are all lacking. Play and pleasure. How women can build a support system? In-person events. Ask, “Who lights you up? Who are you attracted to?” Ask yourself, “How did you make friends when you were a kid?” Be intentional about putting yourself around the right people. Take a leap if you feel drawn to something.

What if there was an evidenced-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kick-starting weight-loss and keeping it off permanently? That's what my guest, Dr. Neal Barnard is back on the show to discuss! To remind you, Dr. Barnard is President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and was featured in Forks Over Knives, What The Health, Plant Pure Nation, Supersize Me, and many more incredible films, and has been a guest on this podcast probably 4-5 times now. His brand new book, The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss just released Tuesday, I was honored to get a copy and I am just pouring over every single word. Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly  chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.  In the book, Dr. Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods: 1.  can reduce the appetite 2.  trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and, 3.  increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal.  These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome.  To make it easy, Dr. Barnard includes a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent plant-based recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.

Our remarkable guest today is scientist and acclaimed author Dr. Marion Nestle. She's a Paulette Goddard Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at New York University and founder of the field of food studies. She's THE authority on food politics – in fact, she wrote the book on it – and for decades, she has been a transformative figure, working to improve our dietary choices while exposing corporate greed and injustice inherent in the food industry.   Dr. Nestle is the author of a dozen books. She appears in the hit documentary Super Size Me and the new Netflix doc You Are What You Eat, among many others. In 2023, she was awarded the prestigious Edinburgh Medal for Science and Humanities.   So tune in for an illuminating conversation with a crusader who's dedicated her life to changing our broken food system!   “I finally caught on to agriculture, that you cannot understand why people eat the food they do unless you understand how the agricultural system works. And now everything is a food system. How does the whole system work? Everything about food, from how it's grown to how it's transported to how it's sold to how it's marketed to how people buy it, eat it, waste it, and all of the sociology that goes with that. So, I went from being a splitter to a lumper. Splitters are – the world divides into splitters and lumpers – and in the beginning, I was a splitter. I was interested in every single nutrient; I cared a lot about every single one of them. And now what I'm really interested in is what the whole system looks like. Because I think if we're going to encourage people to eat more healthfully, we need system change.” - Dr. Marion Nestle   What we discuss in this episode: - Why Dr. Nestle chose a career path in nutrition. - How, when, and why the obesity epidemic started. - How food companies try to get people to eat more. - The role ultra-processed junk foods play in poor health outcomes. - How the tobacco industry deceived and manipulated the public, and how food companies have adopted the same tactics. - Debunking food myths. - The importance of eating a whole food plant-based diet. - How the food industry influences the dietary guidelines of the United States. - Why you should be discerning about the food you feed your pets. - Dr. Nestle's lifestyle and diet.   Resources: - Bulletproof coffee review: https://switch4good.org/press_releases/new-review-shoots-holes-in-bulletproof-coffees-health-claims/ - Marion Nestle's Food Politics blog: Food Politics - https://www.foodpolitics.com/ - Her books: Marion Nestle: books, biography, latest update - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marion-Nestle/author/B001ILIEEY?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true - Twitter/X: Marion Nestle (@marionnestle) / X - https://twitter.com/marionnestle?lang=en - Instagram: Marion Nestle (@marionnestle) • Instagram photos and videos - https://www.instagram.com/marionnestle/   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.
