About this episode
David Page joins Alan Zweig to discuss the complexities of food, eating habits, and societal perceptions of body image.
What do you do when you love food but if you keep eating the way you've been eating, you're going to die? David Page, the creator of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and host of Culinary Characters Unlocked joins Alan to talk about compulsive eating, how society treats fat people like assholes, and feeling guilty about your calorie count while trying to enjoy a world class meal. They ask whether or not Ozempic takes away the desire to eat emotionally and if the pleasure you get from food can be more rewarding than the satisfaction you get from losing weight.
