Today's guest is Jessie Johnson, a Board Certified Nutrition Specialist and the founder of Good Farma. As a leader in promoting sustainable food systems that prioritize transparency + planetary integrity, Jessie brings a pinch of rogue activism to her work. She believes all food should be easy, all food should be nourishing, and all food should be fair. Jessie is here to make more than a statement; she is here to make an impact.

In this episode we discuss:

Jessie’s work as the founder of Good Farma. Jessie’s journey with an eating disorder and living through the ‘wellness rollercoaster’. What is healthism and how does it harm? Specific examples of how healthism is problematic, perpetuating privilege and morality around food. Jessie explains the issues with food access, why fair isn’t always fair. Food desserts versus food apartheid What is a food apartheid and how their our systemic issues, like racism, involved in our food systems. How Jessie practices wellness without obsession.
