A short YouTube interview (shorts) where Josh Trent asks Taylor Collins about threats to human health and culture arising from the modern food system. Collins warns that despite abundant calories people are "starving with our bellies full," citing falling fertility, chronic disease, obesity, and child mortality, and urges scrutiny of food and land. The host asks what deceptive messages push consumers toward perceived "cheap" food.

What keeps you up at night.
As a culture, as a species, we're starving with our bellies full. We are seeing plummeting fertility rates, chronic diseases, obesity. Children are dying. That's why we should all be caring and all having this conversation that looks directly back at our food and the land on which everything is dependent upon.
What is one or two of the lies that people are sold that makes them buy the perceived cheap food.
Consumers are eating exactly what they're told, how they're told, where they're told, not asking questions and just showing up to the register, voting and supporting a system that actually is continuing to ensure and perpetuate that they will get unhealthy food. If my wife was still vegan today, she would either be dead or in a wheelchair. We ditched this vegan diet and ate in an evolutionarily consistent manner and within days years of symptoms went away. We're going to do our part which is fix that broken food system but we need help.
