    Ep. 14: White supremacy on my plate ft. Dr KC Raghu
    Aug 3 2020
    In this week's episode of The Brekking Point, food and nutrition expert Dr. KC Raghu sheds light on food racism in India today. He talks about how the Indian diet is being threatened by the "cereal killer" and "fast carb" culture, and how the constant presence of polished rice and sugar on our plates reveal a "white supremacy" bias. Could a gradual shift to traditional grains and millets, more mindful, balanced eating and an exploration of our culinary diversity stop our breakfast menus from becoming more and more homogenised? Happy listening!
