Today I'm talking to the incredible Humaira Mayet, a dietitian and activist interested in how racism and imperialism have shaped the profession. We cover so much in this episode, including:

👉 Humaira's Master’s thesis, which explores the experiences of South Asian Muslims navigating cardiometabolic disease in the UK, as well as the impact of Islamophobia and structural racism in healthcare

👉 The true meaning of 'decolonisation' and how the health and nutrition sphere has co-opted the term for tools like the EatWell plate

👉 Surveillance and profiling in society, such as Prevent Duty, and how it plays out on the body, as it transfers from state- to self-surveillance

👉 The life-affirming work of anti-facism and how public health is really about safeguarding populations and reaffirming their right to life

👉 Plus, as always, what we're snacking on atm

Today I'm talking to the brilliant Alison Perry, Instagrammer, writer, and host of the Not Another Mummy Podcast, about reclaiming your mojo mid-life, especially after having kids and entering the perimenopause.

In this episode we discuss:

👉 Alison's peri journey so far, and how the peri space is rife with diet culture, toxic wellness messaging, and anti fatness

👉 Supporting kids in their changing bodies (especially when our own bodies are also changing)

👉 What it means to reclaim your confidence mid-life and embrace being fat and fabulous!

Hey team and welcome to Can I Have Another Snack? and a bonus free pod for you.

This month we got sent a listener question about Emily Oster's take on a study about sugar rationing and whether that leads to better metabolic outcomes for kids. Since there is sooo much chat about sugar right now, we thought we'd answer it in a Rapid Response/Dear Laura/All of the Snacks mash up - so here it is, a bonus free podcast with my take on Emily O.

For paying subscribers, I go into a ton more depth in a Dear Laura post (dropping on Thursday) about the history of so-called ‘natural experiments’, what this study actually says, and Emily’s response. It’s a little less off-the-cuff than this conversation and digs into the nuance of how they reported the stats a bit more. If you're not yet a paying subscriber and want to read that, do the thing here.

Let me know what you thought of the episode over in the comments at canihaveanothersnack.com.
