In this episode, JC and Johanna explore the idea of milk as nutritional perfection, and the complex cultural, economic and political factors that have shaped it. What does the idea that milk is good for us leave unsaid? Nutritionist Brian Njoroge explores the unintended consequences of breaking milk down into measurable nutritional components, whilst historian John Nott outlines racialised assumptions that underpinned nutritional policies in colonial Ghana. Award winning writer Andrea Freeman shares her work on food oppression, and how commerce has shaped nutritional aid in the US.
