• From Post Script Media, Climavores is a podcast for eaters who are trying to navigate the complex relationship between healthy food and a healthy planet. Read on to discover how you can watch a virtual live episode!

On November 30th, we’re putting together a virtual live episode of our podcast Climavores, featuring author and NYU professor Marion Nestle.

For decades, Marion has been a towering figure in nutritional science. In a field littered with fad diets and bogus studies, she’s been a voice of authority on the complicated relationship between food, politics and our health. Now she's written a book called “Slow Cooked” about the things you should and shouldn't eat – and who you should and shouldn't trust about food.

Marion joins Climavores hosts and renowned journalists Mike Grunwald and Tamar Haspel for a spirited conversation about food history, food justice, and how to eat for a healthy body and healthy planet. Stephen Lacey, co-founder and executive editor of Post Script Media, will moderate.

Register for free to join us online on November 30th, at 1:00 p.m. ET. And bring your questions for Mike, Tamar and Marion!
