Summary
Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.
This week I’m talking to Rose Stokes, journalist and soon to be author whose currently on a mission to pull apart the myth that you can tell how healthy someone is from how they look. Aspiring to thinness isn’t aspiring to health - for me or her, anyway. We’re at mine, tanking white wine, pringles, some little round Italian tiny mini baby pretzel types things and spicy olives. Wallop.

For updates on what she’s up to, what she’s discovered and to her funny mind follow ROSE STOKES on the old Twitter there. And THIS IS THE ARTICLE that made me contact Rose, to beg her to do a hoovering.
I’m on this great site called PATREON where I swap your money for ace podcast related stuff like totally exclusive content and guest recipes. It’ll help me keep the podcast not just alive, but also thriving. Thanks so so so much if you’ve become a patron recently and/ or stuck with me since the beginning of this.
Also - if you’d wanted to donate something as a one-off you can DO THAT HERE on the Acast Supporter page thing.
We ate PRINGLES, dear me I’m so sorry if you hadn’t heard of them already.
The singers we laud up are SAINT SAVIOUR and LIZZO
She used to write for the ECONOMIST
And we get deep into supermarket chat mentioning no less than TESCOS, SAINSBURYS, LIDL and MORRISONS. Haha.
