In this wonderful meeting of minds, Georgia and Zoë  talk about why the dietary guidelines are just about the opposite of what we should be advised to eat.  They discuss how they both got into the world of diet and health and why they now think as they do. Georgia shares when and how she personally realised that many plants were ‘not her friends’ and how she resolved this. They cover animal foods vs plant foods, nutrients, anti-nutrients and what we need to base meals on. For full show notes, transcripts and video, visit www.zoeharcombe.com
