0:19.7	Welcome to Grow Cook Eat Arrange, the podcast of me, Sarah Raven and Arthur Parkinson.
0:25.7	But today, because we're going to do a food-orientated one, Arthur's not actually with me.
0:31.1	And I've got the most exciting guest who I just longing to talk to, but also longing for you to know all about her if you
0:40.8	don't already. Who I'm talking to you today is the nutritionist Amelia Freya. And I came across
0:48.4	her first book, I don't know, maybe six or seven years ago when I was writing the Good Good Food book.
0:56.3	And to be honest, I've got to be honest, and to be honest, there were a lot of books in that

1:47.5	about nutrition without it being intimidating and feel like a kind of rather earnest,
1:55.1	worthy science. And that's what I feel you have really done for this. And for me, that's just so exciting. So hello, hello, hello.
2:04.2	Hello, good morning. Thank you so much for saying all of those wonderful things. That's absolutely
2:10.3	what I aim to achieve with my work, because I quite agree with you. Nutrition can often become
2:16.8	very off-putting because of its complexity.
2:19.9	It alienates people. It feels very worthy and very shaming. We know that there's a lot of emotional
2:26.4	depth or a lot of emotions full stop when it comes to talking about food. So it is a very complex
