Overview

This conversation was hosted by Sixth and I in Washington, DC

The food system in America is broken, and the impact on our health and economy is staggering. On this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I sit down with Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) to discuss how our food policies have led to an epidemic of chronic disease and what we can do to create a healthier future. 

Senator Booker, a passionate advocate for food justice, shares his insights on the systemic changes needed to transform our food system for the better.

In this compelling conversation, you’ll learn:

  • How current food policies are subsidizing unhealthy foods and contributing to chronic diseases.

  • The surprising connection between food deserts and the health crisis in low-income communities.

  • Practical steps we can take to promote healthier food choices and support local farmers.

  • The role of big corporations in shaping our food environment and what we can do to hold them accountable.

  • Innovative solutions to reduce food waste and improve food security for all Americans.

Join us for an important discussion on the urgent need to reform our food system and how we can work together to build a healthier, more sustainable future.
