Belinda Fettke on the Influence of Religious Ideology on Food Policy

Belinda Fettke is back on the show, and this time she is chatting with my co-host, James Connolly.

Belinda Fettke is the wife of Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon in Tasmania that was under investigation by the Medical Board of Tasmania for giving nutritional advice to his patients. Belinda started her research journey with a simple goal: clear her husband’s name. Little did she know that her research would lead her to uncover the overwhelming influence of the religious ideology shaping our “plant-based” dietary guidelines, food policy, and medical education.
