Dive into this eye-opening episode of 'She's Electric' with Pia and Kaya as they uncover the hidden truths of our dysfunctional food system, revealing how just a handful of companies control the majority of what we eat.

Discover how our focus on maximising yield and efficiency has led to a dangerously narrow food system, heavily reliant on just 12 plants and 5 animals.

Kaya and Pia share candid insights into the environmental impact of these practices, the exploitation within the food industry, and the alarming dominance of ultra-processed foods. They reveal the shocking nutritional differences between food grown through regenerative agriculture and conventional methods.

But it’s not all doom and gloom! This episode is also a celebration of small, sustainable steps we can take to make a difference. From buying organic to supporting local farmers, Pia and Kaya share practical tips to help you shift the balance of power away from big food companies while maximising nourishment and enjoyment for your own family.

Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child's diet or just someone who cares about the planet, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for real talk, electric insights, and a roadmap to a deeper, more intentional connection with your food.
