A podcast about food, biology, and the surprising lessons animals have to teach us humans about what and how to eat. In this series, novelist Charlotte Wood talks with renowned University of Sydney biologists David Raubenheimer and Steve Simpson about their 35 years of work and friendship, and the resulting research findings that provocatively challenge long-held beliefs about nutrition and human health. In the process, we take a look at the serendipitous connections that often lie at the heart of good science, and the insights scientists share with artists.

Ep 6. Petrol in your ice cream: what ultra-processing has done to our diets
<p>This extended episode we’re learning about the four kinds of food processing and how each has changed our diets. Earlier, we learned of the five appetites driving human food preferences - but now <a href="https://www.eatliketheanimals.com/authors"><strong>Professors David Raubenheimer</strong></a> <a href="https://www.eatliketheanimals.com/authors"><strong>and Steve Simpson</strong></a> discuss an even more powerful craving. It's the appetite for profit, and it’s destroying the ability of many of us to keep ourselves healthy. As well, we learn about how and why protein needs change throughout our lives.</p> <p>Hosted by novelist Charlotte Wood, the first writer-in-residence at the Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney.</p> <p>More details:</p> <p><a href="https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9781460758694/eat-like-the-animals-what-nature-teaches-us-about-the-science-of-healthy-eating/">EAT LIKE THE ANIMALS</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.sydney.edu.au/charles-perkins-centre/about.html">THE CHARLES PERKINS CENTRE, UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.charlottewood.com.au/bio--photo.html">CHARLOTTE WOOD</a></p>
