We live in a country where we grow and waste enough food to feed everyone but we don’t get it to the people who really need it. Karen Washington, my guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy, and I look at the fundamental flaws in the system that lead to this, along with so many other glaring aspects of our broken food system.
COVID-19 has made us question the way we live our lives, how we’re all interconnected, why we have such massive health disparities in our country, and the role our food system plays in our individual and collective health. Karen and I discuss all this, and more.
