Inside the FDA with a Former FDA Director, Richard Williams

Richard A. Williams, former Director for Social Science with the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition at the FDA, takes us behind the scenes on what the FDA actually does: how regulations are put into place, and why they sometimes aren’t when they should be; how warning labels and bans on things like trans fats are determined, and by whom; food safety versus nutrition, and Genetically Modified versus Genetically Engineered. Is irradiation (similar to microwaves) a safe way to kill pathogens in food? Why is obesity still on the rise? And we take a look at the future of food, from precision fermentation, vertical farms, and 3D-printed foods, to personalized diets and so much more.
