Why Science is So Important for Emotion & Observation Driven Idiots (aka Humans)
In this episode, I explain how as emotional and irrational humans we can benefit from the scientific method!
I discuss the relevance of scientific findings to everyday life and how they can help us to make more informed decisions while avoiding whatever the latest nutrition zealots are shouting about! I also shed some light on my experience of the unsurprising biases in the food industry and why my opinion didn’t always suit their priorities.
