Episode 5 - Food With Anthony Dissen, MA, RDN

Modernity and Absurdity with Christian Perez

We are working on some interesting new episodes in the near future. But this time We take a slight turn and discuss one of everyone’s favorite subjects...food. Anthony Dissen is an educator and registered dietitian. In this episode Anthony shares his thoughts on the health food craze. Has it become a fashion statement? We discuss why he chose to study food, the role of corn in the economy, Why processed foods are cheaper, how much water is being wasted and why he chooses to say he eats a plant based diet instead of being called a vegan. We are available on iTunes, Stitcher and Soundcloud. You can always message us on Twitter @PerezPodcast, e-mail at [e-mail] and Facebook at Modernity and Absurdity.
