  • TRANSCRIPT

    Hi, Sophie here as usual. This is just a very short piece of audio to let you know that the Foodies podcast will be taking a bit of a holiday until the later half of this year. As keen listeners will know, I’m undertaking a PhD at the moment as well as working a part time job. The PhD is coming to the pointy end which means my time and brain are almost at full capacity. Being able to do this podcast means the world to me and I want to be able to do it justice and give it the energy it deserves. But don’t worry, I hope to be back in your ears soon enough with more exciting episodes on all the community and public health nutrition work out there. Having you all listen in and engage with the podcast always brings me so much joy. So until then, take a chance to catch up on any episodes you haven’t already listened to, share it with those who you think might be interested and keep up all the amazing work you do in this space.

  • In this episode Kim Anastasiou, a Research Fellow at the Stretton Health Equity Institute of the University of Adelaide, unpacks the impact that ultra processed foods are having not just on our health but also our environment and what this means for the work we do and the world we live in.

    Kim is an advocate for the transformative changes needed to create healthier and more sustainable food systems. Previously, Kim has held the roles of ‘Young Scientist’ for the UN FAO’s World Food Forum (2022-23) and ‘Youth Liaison’ for the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (2021). She formerly worked at the CSIRO as a Research Dietitian on public health nutrition research projects. Current projects include analysing the health and environmental impacts of Australian food policies (University of Adelaide) and reviewing interventions which improve the quality of life of food system workers (part of EAT-Lancet 2.0).

  • Dr. Katherine Cullerton is a Research Fellow in the School of Public Health at the University of Queensland. Katherine has extensive experience working in in a range of public health sectors and settings in Australia and in the UK. Her current research focuses on why evidence doesn’t translate into policy and how advocates can better shape nutrition policy. We talk all things politics, politicians and public health nutrition and Katherine gives some great ideas on how we can all, as individuals, or as members of organizations easily advocate in our communities and what to look for when assessing policy commitments.

    For further information, check out Katherine's researcher profile at the University of Queensland, especially the article titled 'Effective advocacy strategies for influencing government nutrition policy: a conceptual model' ; and Katherine's Twitter.
