jeudi 20 février 2025 • Duration 54:35
Today Eric chats with Food Fix Founder and Editor-in-Chief Helena Bottemiller Evich, arguably the most plugged in journalist to RFK Jr and FDA Food Safety. We dig into the fundamental question: What is happening at FDA under RFK Jr's leadership? It's...a lot. Helena's reporting focuses exclusively on food safety and food safety policy. Her reporting has broken major stories on the failings of infant formula production, red tape slowdowns, and has been a champion of food innovation policy. Her weekly newsletter is the go to read for consumers and food industry, and she was the first to say that RFK would not be confirmed, but also the likely places he would begin to re-shape his department.

Today we're joined by Greg Jaffe, noted food policy expert and advocate for biotechnology-driven food production.

He has since left government and launched his own agency to help others solve their emerging food tech issues. Greg is a deep thinker and thoughtful policy maker. If you ever wanted to meet the kind of person who makes food policy for a country, well, here you go! Greg and I have crossed paths over the years many times on numerous issues - we discuss biotechnology as necessary move forward for food, the challenges he's seen in getting through to consumers, and frankly, what we can do to build a healthy future.

Plant-Based? More like Grassroots ... with Danny O'Malley
vendredi 21 mars 2025 • Duration 58:36
Sometimes you gotta go back to go forward. Guest Danny O'Malley, the President and Founder of Before the Butcher, thematically breaks down how we build new products by listening to us, the consumers. Seems straightforward. It's anything but, as Danny explains in this week's episode.
We discuss what has NOT been working when it comes to plant-based burgers, why you gotta actually listen to your customers and build what they really want (and why many folks pay lip service to this), and what it takes to survive the inevitable belt-tightening that happens in any food industry.
