Heart disease, diabetes linked to hunger in residential schools

Ian Mosby and Tracy Galloway looked at studies of famine survivors from Russia, China and the Netherlands to understand the long-term health consequences of the residential school diet. They say the high rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes among Indigenous populations today is clearly linked to the constant hunger experienced in school. We speak with Ian Mosby, historian of food, health and colonialism at the University of Toronto and the University of Guelph.
