The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee13 Jun 2018

Hazardous Hospital Food

A hospital is supposed to be a place of healing and a pillar of health. Yet, many are serving the foods that may have helped land the patient in the operating room.

Learn about the big money contracts between hospitals and fast food restaurants that generate millions of dollars every year as "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll sits down with Leslie Rudloff, Director of Legal Affairs at The Physicians Committee. Rudloff has obtained the contracts and has found just how much money burgers and fries can bring in to the medical facilities.

Perhaps most troubling is the fact that the unhealthy food epidemic extends into children's hospitals where tender-aged patients are being served food proven to have a high risk of colon cancer. Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D. joins the show to discuss the #HazardousHotDogs campaign.

Death metal rocker and unapologetic vegan Alissa White-Gluz takes time out of her busy touring schedule to join the show! Alissa is the lead singer of Arch Enemy, who goes to great lengths to keep it plant-based while performing all over the world. You'll hear her fascinating story of being raised vegetarian and not understanding why her friends were consuming animals when she was a young child.

Alissa is also a must-follow on social media. The mix of hardcore rock pictures, animal rights messages, and cute puppies is extraordinary. Check out Alissa and Arch Enemy on tour.
