Ever wondered about the environmental impact of your food choices?
How can you offset that flight to Tenerife?
Do you know about food fraud?
How about why the food industry tricks you into thinking that it’s all about calories?
Tim and I also discuss us the many wondrous and surprising properties of everyday foods, which scientists are only just beginning to understand. Plus a look into his nutrition company ‘Zoe’ and the latest in personalised medicine.

Dirt to Soil is one of the best books I’ve read on the topic of soil. I’m a home gardener who loves studying soil science.
Very interesting conversation! Thank you both. Waiting for the next talk with Dr Tim.
Can we be sure that our microbiomes are happy with GM food?
Thank you for an interesting morning. I have dipped in and out between food prep. I am so pleased I live here in rural France. Access to good food at a good price. I can easily source mushrooms and dried mushrooms. Will be upping our mushroom consumption right now. Thanks again.
Wonderful, thank you for sharing! I’m glad you enjoyed this episode :)
My grandfather was an oyster man. You should read the book The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell.
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Dr Greger uses the portable food you were describing at the end Hotel room the rabeling soups and pasta, at time r in hotwater ready to eat. Can't remember the brand name
On dried mushrooms. If you can find someone with a Booker card (presumably other wholesale places too), a huge jar of dried mushrooms, the size of an old fashioned sweetie jar, is really good value. Last time I bought one it was about £10. The little packets in shops are quite pricy. I decant into a glass clip top jar and they are, as the chaps said, very easy and tasty.
Also dried mushrooms are used a lot in East Asian cuisine, so you can buy big bags of dried mushrooms from East Asian grocery stored pretty cheaply. The tiny ones in ordinary grocery stores are ridiculously expensive for a tiny amount.
Really interesting. Enjoyed the book and agree it was depressing at times but gave me information that I can use.
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed this episode and the book!
The Jaffa Cake lawsuit was about whether or not they were a cake, which attracted VAT, or a biscuit, which didn't. Quite important if you're involved in their manufacture, sale or purchase as a considerable amount of tax was involved.
I like puddings and cake. I would like to know if, i eat healthily but then on a day out eat a pud and custard how long will it take to get the gut back? I have now v bad IBS. I think for me allergies prob to additives.
I think the challenge will be to stop 'big food' infiltrating these changes. I expect they are already lobbying, researching and preparing adverts for their versions of these ingredients. Eg, Cola flavoured breakfast Kimchi great for children! That sort of thing. Or just call me Eeyore!
🙏❤️❤️
Thank you!
Great programme but the sub titles are hilarious and quite misleading at times although I would really like to try laughing bread!
I appreciate you seeing the funny side! With a couple of episodes a week the subtitles do find themselves going a little off track from time to time! :)
Is Dr Rupy married? I see him wearing a ring. Congrats, Dr.
I am and thank you!
Oh, and let's do away with the appalling factory chicken industry, and battery eggs and the shocking cattle factories in the USA.
Call me old fashioned (I am quite old!) but I’ll pass on insects & fake meat. We need more regenerative farming which would surely improve the microbes in our soil. Antibiotic resistance is very concerning. I worked in a vet practice 15+ years ago & was horrified at just how routinely antibiotics were handed out to farmers. Hopefully there’s less of that going on now.
I’m fine with insects, and possibly fake meat, and totally agree about regenerative agriculture. But meat produced in regenerative ways is lower volume and more expensive than intensive (not least because it grows more slowly). What the vast majority of UK people eat, certainly chicken, pork and salmon and other fish, is a million miles away, but producible in industrial quantities. People can’t eat FR chicken and wild salmon every day, there will never be enough of it to feed 70million people. Something’s got to give😊
God did not create animals FOR US! You cannot nurture love based on sufferings of other live creatures! Eating dead animal flesh is WRONG. Eating animal corpses is wrong. Just to satisfy fat guts???? Wrong! Americans are 80% fat. It’s becoming a rarity to see fit slim humans. Yes, talk about animal fat and protein for human consumption. Oh yes, and animal excretions, like dairy and eggs. Eat live food and be alive.
I agree, people should be eating good quality meat, but less often, or smaller portions.
Samphire is a plant not an alga.

Great information, as always. But lets move away from meat and "new meats" to more plants, and, if necessary, small amounts of organic meats. As for GM... hmmm... this might another one that Tim changes his mind on.
I’m sorry but I don’t want processed meat from stem cells. God created animals, fish, plants and trees for a reason. I usually enjoy these videos but this one has me feeling extremely upset and anxious. After hearing this I wish I could have my own traditional small farm.
Absolutely!!!100% agree with you 👍
Good grief. Did God also create ultra processed foods for a.reason?
😢😢😅p

Very dissapointing to hear Tims views on fake food. I thought he was an advocate for real food 💔😢
What a pity that professor Spector makes pronouncements about farming that illustrate his ignorance of the subject. Please do not confuse industrial farming with the earth friendly farming that more afrmers worldwide practise.
