Dr. Michael Jacobson on Food Industry Tactics and the Path to Healthier Eating

Dr. John Poothullil and Dr. Michael Jacobson talk about the food industry tactics.

Dr. John recently sat down with Dr. Michael Jacobson, co-founder of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, where the conversation shifted to how the food industry influences consumer perception, often using marketing strategies that echo the tobacco industry’s playbook in minimizing health concerns. Jacobson notes that reducing ultra-processed foods doesn’t require drastic measures—families can start with small, practical steps such as preparing more meals at home and choosing minimally processed ingredients. Looking ahead, he highlights the importance of education and cultural storytelling, including projects like the National Food Museum, in helping the public rethink its relationship with food. While challenges remain, Jacobson holds cautious optimism that industry may eventually take part in meaningful solutions. The audio commentary was originally posted on DailyMailUSA
