In Defence Of FoodMarch 17, 2016

What should we eat? Until the early 20th century, the answer to this question was simply dictated by what was grown nearby, readily available, and unspoiled. But 100 years later, the struggle over what to eat has become one of the most complicated, confounding, and urgent battles facing the world. Based on Michael Pollan’s best-selling book, this documentary shows how a combination of uncertain and incomplete science, politicians, and clever marketing campaigns have shaped the world’s eating habits.

In Defence Of Food was broadcast on SBS ONE at Tuesday 8 May 2018, 06:30. This episode was initially placed on Thursday 17 March 2016.
