Description

A relentless drive for innovation, a diligent work ethic and a uniquely American focus on individualism have shaped domestic food culture — one that prioritizes convenience, customization and “snackification” over tradition and shared meals.


In this episode, Sophie Egan, author and leader at the intersection of food, health and climate, explores how these distinctly American values established a food culture rife with marketing and misinformation that creates challenges for maintaining healthy habits. Tune in for actionable insights on how employers can leverage their influence to build healthier, more sustainable food environments for today’s workforce.


Guest: Sophie Egan, Author of How to Be a Conscious Eater and Devoured: How What We Eat Defines Who We Are
