#847 Is ‘Healthier Eating’ Just Not Practical Anymore?
Processed vs natural foods have long been debated, but is eating healthy really realistic today? We spoke to Dr Siva, better known by his IG handle @meditherapie, a strong advocate for healing through better nutrition. His views, however, sparked pushback from Darren, who argues that such practices aren’t practical in modern society. In response, Dr Siva says change should start from the ground up, with the government educating hawkers and even subsidising healthier food options. Is this something you see happening in the future?

So, could Singapore ever face such drastic energy measures, and if it does, would you be ready to bear the cost?
