You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

tool to help people visualize what a healthy balanced diet is and that was developed by looking at what people currently eat, what the new

recommendations after the carbohydrates and health reports from the Scientific Advisory Committee

on Nutrition were and how we get people from what they

currently eat to what we want them to eat. So yes I do. The Scientific Advisory

Committee on Nutrition on Nutrition Experts appointed by government to work in an of independent and transparent manner to look at the evidence base.

They come up with recommendations, those recommendations follow a framework of evidence

person's view. We go out to external consultation, consider the responses to consultation, then publish our final

recommendations.

And that is what government then sets its advice on.
