About this episode

The episode discusses the practicality of healthier eating in modern society through a debate between Dr Siva and Darren.

Processed vs natural foods have long been debated, but is eating healthy really realistic today? We spoke to Dr Siva, better known by his IG handle @meditherapie, a strong advocate for healing through better nutrition. His views, however, sparked pushback from Darren, who argues that such practices aren’t practical in modern society. In response, Dr Siva says change should start from the ground up, with the government educating hawkers and even subsidising healthier food options. Is this something you see happening in the future?
