Food Systems on Fire - Medical Concerns from Endocrine Disruptors In The Food Chain

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this week’s episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Show, we’re doing things a little differently. I attended the Women in Tech Global Summit 2022 in Paris, France. Under the High Patronage of Ms. Elizabeth Moreno, French Minister for Gender Equality, Diversity, and Equal Opportunities, the theme is ‘HERoes Shaping Tomorrow’, which celebrates women across the world who are the Shakers, Makers, and Innovators of our new society and economy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The panel of speakers I was a part of consisted of high-caliber people and the talk revolved mainly around food supply and how the quality of our food has been gradually declining. Terri Cochran, a past guest here on the Girlfriend Doctor, emphasized how not only is the food quality decreasing, but the way in which we manage and waste it is slowly leading our manmade emissions here in our home, earth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, the discussion was very fun but also essential because we need to become more aware of our actions. 70% of food is actually wasted in the home, and though it may only seem like a waste of money, wasting food is also a huge contributor to climate change. We need to come together and find solutions to the problems humanity is facing, and it starts with discussions like these. Tune in to find out how we can overcome these global issues!</span></p> <p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[10:30] Food storage and waste contributes to 35% of total manmade emissions</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[13:24] Diabetes and obesity in the country is growing exponentially</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[18:32] How Food Cloud is feeding the world</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[22:04] We waste a lot of food and water</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[22:54] Dr. Anna’s take on ‘Food is Everything’</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[32:55] Becoming more conscious of f
