Welcome back to the Stronger by Science Podcast. Today is going to be part two of our

discussion on popular diets and common misconceptions in nutrition. Now for today's episode I am going to be the only host which

leads me to a bit of an update so as I mentioned in our most recent episode the

SBS Podcast co-host Union was on strike because they wanted

family contact to be reinstated despite the obvious and direct threat to show quality and show focus. I did make an altruistic

and generous concession and I granted that request and it came with only a modest pay reduction in order to offset some of the

damages that the podcast would incur as we made that change. So I granted that policy

change and unfortunately with some folks if you give an inch they ask for a mile and that's where we find ourselves currently with the union. So after spending Christmas time with their families

during the strike, apparently they decided that was something that they want

moving forward. So they have requested in addition to their previous requests that they want Christmas

day off in the future.

Now that to me is kind of a line in the sand. That would be fully incompatible with our production

schedule. I don't want to get too into the details about the behind the scenes efforts here.

But this strike, which I mean I've got lawyers contacting me continuously saying it's totally unfair, totally illegal.

But this strike continues and so for that reason I am the only host for today's show. Now we're going to get into part two of this

discussion but before I do that I want to remind everyone that if you like the show and
