Meet the Food System with Dr. Walter Willett

What is the “food system” and how does it define personal and societal health? Join Dr. Walter Willett for an introduction to the web of activities - production, processing, distribution, consumption and waste - that define what and how we eat, and how our relationship to the food system and our participation in it informs human health. Focusing on Dr. Willett’s unique expertise on the long-term health consequences of food choices, consider how the broader food system and your engagement in it will improve your health.

Who funds Walter Willett? He must declare which organisations are funding him and this research. How else to explain such findings?

[@juliagreene]

You can find any of his 1700 peer reviewed published works and look at any conflict of interest statements and funders. It is required for publication. This information is publicly available if you look for it.

Red meat causes Diabetes?😂

[@mrscpc1918]

Absolutely. The saturated
fat blocks the receptors and prevents them opening and allowing the glucose from entering the cells so blood glucose ( sugar ) continues to rise
= diabetes

[@davidkruse4030]

Yes. The vegans have been trying to explain this for years.

[@thedomestead3546]

Probably feed lot due to trash fodder, but not wild or properly raised animals.
