The episode discusses healthy eating strategies, family dynamics around food, and the science of fibre and plant diversity.

Should you be counting plant points? How can you encourage healthy eating without creating family conflict? And are homemade foods always worth the extra effort?This week, we discuss how to navigate different parenting approaches around food, unpack the science behind fibre and plant diversity, and explore whether convenience foods can sometimes be the healthiest choice of all.
