  • Summary

  • Should you really add olive oil or salt to your coffee, or microwave your tea? Can rice and bread be that bad for us if we’ve been eating these staples forever? Which seafoods are sustainable? And should I say no to cheese boards? It can be so tricky trying to consume the ‘right things’, and the forces that shape our diets go far beyond what’s supposedly ‘good for us’. On Should You Really Eat That?, food writer Lee Tran Lam untangles the social, cultural and nutritional confusion around the food and drinks we consume – with the help of chefs, dietitians and other guests.

In this episode Lee Tran Lam speaks with chefs Ben Shewry and Chris Jordan, as well as Dr Evangeline Mantzioris.
