The Hello and

welcome to fully charged show podcast. I'm Madie Moat and it's my turn to host a talk for my podcast debut. Hello everyone.

This podcast carries on the Fully Charged Live Talks on 7th, 8th and 9th of June 2019. This particular talk was recorded on the 7th of June and is titled

What's the Same as a Cheesburger, Why What We Eat Matters. I was delighted to put forward this idea after I

had written my article for the upcoming fully charged almanac 2020 and with

the excellent panelists of Dale Vintz from Ecotricity, Jarvis Smith from my Green Pod, and finally

Tiana Simmons from Viva, there was lots of energy and passion in the room.

So without further ado he is why what we eat matters. Hello everyone and welcome to the mega theatre to one of the first panels of Fully Charged Live.

It is my absolute pleasure to be here. So this first panel it's what's the same

as a cheeseburger, why what we eat matters so I calculated the

estimated carbon cost of a cheeseburger which is about 2.5 kilograms

carbon I believe and then I said okay well what's that the same as and the answer is one

Cheeseburger is the same as five hot baths or ten portions of rice or even using five plastic bags, five new plastic bags every week for an entire year.

That's just one cheeseburger.

So what we eat really does matter and that's sort of the thought behind this

particular panel so it's my absolute pleasure to introduce our panelists could

we or please give a really warm welcome to Dale,

Tiana and Jarvis.

Please do come on stage.

Right, so I'm gonna ask, can you all hear me okay?

Because it's very loud in here.

Yeah, everyone's fine?
