## Resource

Let’s start with what’s simple: food is health. In this episode of One Bite is Everything , Dana DiPrima speaks with Carter Williams, systems engineer turned agricultural investor and contributor to the Food Is Health Substack. Carter introduces a framework that reframes the conversation: System A — biologically aligned, nutrient-dense food rooted in nature. System B — industrial agriculture built for scale and yield, but not for healthy outcomes. System C — a possible next chapter that keeps scale while restoring biological integrity. This conversation is about systems architecture — and what’s at stake when a system designed to solve one problem quietly creates another. Together, Dana and Carter explore: • Why scale changes incentives • How vertical integration can influence outcomes for health and farmers • What happens when supply and demand signals fall out of sync • The friction inside grocery, pharmacy, and healthcare • How measurement tools and data transparency could shift power • And who actually has leverage to design something better This is a complex systems conversation. And it’s one worth having — again and again. From many angles. If food truly is health, then the way our food system is designed matters. And if we engineered the current system, we can engineer what comes next. For another relevant conversation around this issue, particularly on the data side, check out this episode with Sam Alexander of Food Health Co. who's already making important strides.
