6.7. A Critical View on Biotech 🔍 Is This Healthy? Is This Safe? 🤔 With Larissa Zimberoff - a podcast by Marina Schmidt
from 2023-01-18T07:58:53
The issue is "ingedientisation" - our foods are increasingly puzzled together from protein isolates, colorants, binders, additives, and more. It's January 2023. I recorded most of these interviews in August last year- we plan far in advance. And in the meantime, instead of becoming more excited about biotech, I have become more critical.
And that's not a negative development. And it's not a black-and-white state. Being in the industry is like being in an echo chamber of technocratic hype. It helps to step out once in a while and look at the bubble from the outside.
Most of the technologies we have discussed are about ingredients. So what about health? And that's what you will hear from Larissa Zimberoff, a Bay Area writer focused on the interplay between food, technology, and business. Her publications include: The New York Times, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street, and she wrote the book "Technically Food: Inside Silicon Valley's Mission to Change What We Eat" which is available as an Audible, ebook, and print.
