73. The Red Pill Food Revolution with Ben Hunt

We know food companies need to sell their products, but is there more to it than money? With 70% of our supermarket shelves stacked with hyper palatable and innutritious food it begs the question as to whether Big Food has our best interests in mind. Money, power and control over the population dates back thousands of years, are our Governments still playing the same game? Ben Hunt is the author of The Red Pill Food Revolution, is a researcher, speaker and advocate of the Carnivore Diet. During this captivating conversation he lays out the history of food in our society and how it can be used to manipulate our behaviour. You can join Ben's Substack here.
