Health shows connect the United States to food, disease, migration, and medical care

The Dr. Hyman Show argues that obesity and chronic disease in America reflect problems with the food system, not simply individual weakness, while debating nutrition policy and controversies.[1]

The Dr. Hyman Show also features disagreement over whether partially hydrogenated oils were removed from the US food supply, with Dariush Mozaffarian saying they were banned and Mark Hyman saying they remain available.[2]

DarkHorse Podcast discusses whether events in the United States should be understood as an invasion, mass immigration, or both, with Bret Weinstein arguing both were occurring simultaneously.[3]

Other shows use the United States as context for medical and public-health issues, including bankruptcy after medical treatment, childhood cancer care, and a deadly bat disease spreading around the country.[4][5][6]

The United States also appears in less central references, including stock-market investing, teenage driving near the Continental Divide, and a scientist's academic career in Australia.[7][8][9]
