Today’s episode features Mark Schatzker who just
released his new book: The End of
Craving. Back on
episode
69, we discussed
another one of his amazing books: The Dorito Effect.
While many people are arguing
about the calories or macronutrients in diets, Mark focuses on the
experience of eating – the enjoyment and flavor of food. This
episode is packed with mind-blowing bits of information on obesity,
cravings, weight loss, brain science, and the history of our food
system.
