The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee Physicians Committee

Processed foods are more than Doritos, Oreos, frozen dinners, and mind-numbing amounts of breakfast cereals to choose from.
 
Chicken breasts, steaks, and other unprocessed meats are in fact processed food, according to a new way of analyzing the food we eat.
 
Dr. Neal Barnard, author of The Power Foods Diet, joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to explain this novel approach of understanding the way the food industry operates.
 
Topics Discussed
- Processed food vs. animal processing
- Animals are the "middle man" of human nutrition
- Eliminating the "middle man" lowers the risk of disease
- And more
 
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.
