Takeaways:

"Good health starts with the foundation of good eating. And I'm careful not saying nutrition because you can get down this road of 'nutritionism', which means just looking at things like zinc, omega three, essential fatty acids without actually joining up to what is important about food. And that is, sharing, eating together and all sorts of other social things that food does, rather than just the nutrition and it all being a super green smoothie." - Kate Cook

"It's really looking around the culture of food, extending the nutritional conversation, even out to the soil and to the actual origins of where our food comes from. So, it's all connected. We need to look at the whole picture, not just how it's going to serve us, but how it's going to serve everybody, our family, and ultimately, the planet as well." - Kate Cook
