The online food fighters
The Food Chain
Social media is full of fake news about food.
Fad diets, cure-all superfoods, demonised ingredients, made-up health scares β youβre never more than a few clicks away from unreliable nutritional information.
In this episode, Ruth Alexander meets two people trying to take on those who peddle the food myths. What is it like getting into an online food fight; can an individual ever hope to change peopleβs minds; and why would anyone even try?
