So I've listened to all your podcasts twice and agree with nearly everything you both say. The one thing I don't agree with is a common misconception, that cutting back on meat is better for the environment. However importing foods in plastic to compensate for cutting out that food group negates the environmental benefits. Sourcing local IN SEASON foods including sustainable meat and dairy is fundamentally more environmentally friendly. Please stop with the give up meat to save the environment rhetoric and encourage those people to source foods locally to them, it's also usually cheaper than the supermarket, also using butchers and green grocers cuts down significantly on food waste and plastic packaging use, because you buy what you need not what sized packet is available on the shelf in the supermarket. Apart from that I've loved your podcasts and I cannot wait for the second series.

One of the most informative and thought-provoking podcasts I've listened to. Thank you for exploring the intersections of nutrition with other aspects of lived experience and for explaining the nuances of nutrition research.
