Episode Details

Today I had the pleasure of talking to celebrity chef, filmmaker, and all around great guy, Pete Evans. He co-hosts the #1 show in Australia, My Kitchen Rules which is in its 10th season and is shown in 160 countries. He's written a ton of books and cookbooks, he's created the show The Paleo Way, and has a great podcast called Recipes For Life. You may know him from the documentary The Magic Pill, which everyone listening has probably already seen on Netflix. He's an amazing, positive force in Australia and the world, and it may not be apparent from our brief talk. We only had an hour so I'm going to have him on again because there's so much more to get into. I'll get a better recording situation next time. You'll notice the quality wasn't so great due to the recording service we were forced to use. A lot to enjoy in this episode though - he brings up some really creepy stuff about the dietitians association of Australia colluding to discredit and silence himself and a prominent doctor who advocate for people to lower sugar in their diet. Absurd, but true. These are the last few days you can pre-order the Food Lies film on Indiegogo. We really need your help to get this finished. We're not taking any outside funding and have so far used much of our own time, money, and resources. It's really coming out fantastic, and I can't wait to share it with the world. Pre-ordering is the only way to have your own copy and share it with family and friends and you'll get it a couple months early. It's also the best way to show your support for this podcast and getting this information out there. I really appreciate all the support so far and can't thank this awesome community enough.
