Today I am joined by Dr. Alan Flanagan, a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Surrey, UK with a PhD and master’s degree in Nutrition.
In this episode, Alan and I discuss:
* General points of scientific consensus regarding nutrition
* Characteristics of dietary patterns conducive to health
* Health impacts of red meat
* Alan’s own food journey, especially related to food’s environmental impact
* How nutrition evidence lines up with environmental impact
* Nutritional health and class divides / societal discrepancies
* Social media quacks and red flags to look out for online
* What Alan typically eats in a week
* And more!

When it comes to doing something about climate change, your food choices matter.
Thanks for tuning in to Eating for Eden, a podcast that takes a food-first approach to climate action.
We’ve been given a beautiful garden to steward. It may seem like a small thing, but the food we eat plays a massive role in either contributing to or lessening carbon emissions.
I’m here to help you decide with intention what you’re putting on your plate and into your mouth (and thoroughly enjoy your food along the way).

Your impact goes further when you share what you’ve learned!
