I’m guest hosting Your Call’s One Planet Series this morning. First, we’ll cover a Washington Post-Examination News investigation into how food companies are promoting ultra-processed foods, laden with sweeteners and additives, in order to cash in on the popular “anti-diet” movement. What tactics are they using on unsuspecting consumers?

We’ll be joined by co-authors of the “As obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push ‘anti-diet’ advice:”

• Sasha Chavkin, senior reporter for The Examination, a nonprofit newsroom covering global public health
• Caitlin Gilbert, a Well+Being data reporter at The Washington Post

Then we’ll talk about a Guardian investigation into an unprecedented deal in which Greenstone Resource Partners, a private company backed by global investors, sold rights to the Colorado River’s water. The deal allows a big suburban expansion 200 miles away near Phoenix to go forward, but it leaves a small agricultural community reeling. Joining us will be Maanvi Singh, west coast reporter for the Guardian.
