The Myth of Healthy Eating With Christina Chaey and Vanessa Rissetto

What does it mean to be healthy in 2021? We spent the majority of this year and last cooking and eating at home, and while we’re so sick of staring into our fridges, we did learn some valuable lessons about our mental and physical health along the way. For the first episode of our six-episode Healthyish series, Amanda Shapiro is joined by BA senior food editor Christina Chaey, who recently wrote about redefining “healthy” for herself, and dietitian and food equity advocate Vanessa Rissetto, to talk about what those lessons were and how we’re cooking (or not cooking) now.
