1 Patti Truant Anderson: Polling and the Surprising Results Around What People Really Think About the Food System 24:55
Text “Do people even want to know about some of these issues? Because I think some of the meat production concerns, it's kind of like people would rather in some cases, I think some people might not really want to know all the nitty gritty. They don't want to know how the sausage is made. That poses an interesting question and challenge about how you communicate about some of these issues, when maybe there's a resistance among a subset of people who don't want to know more.” - Patti Truant Anderson This is the fourth episode in a special four-part series where we go deep into the food system with some of the brightest minds from Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, an interdisciplinary center based out of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. One of the reasons that we did this series is because we're about to enter another four years with the Trump administration; and last time, as we know, the Trump administration was pretty terrible for the food system in terms of climate, public health, worker safety, and of course, for the animals. This conversation is with Patty Truant Anderson. Patty is a senior program officer at the center. Part of her work at the Center focuses on public opinion polling around the food system. These polls can inform decisions by lawmakers. The great news is we're not nearly as polarized as it might seem. There is a lot of hope in the results.

1:01:20Economist and editor of Works in Progress Sam Bowman isn’t content to just condemn the Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) mentality behind rich countries' construction stagnation. He wants to actually get a tonne of stuff built, and by that standard the strategy of attacking ‘NIMBYs’ has been an abject failure. They are too politically powerful, and if you try to crush them, sooner or later they crush you. So Sam lays out three alternative strategies in our full interview with him — including highlights like: Rich countries have a crisis of underconstruction (00:00:19) The UK builds shockingly little because of its planning permission system (00:04:57) Overcoming NIMBYism means fixing incentives (00:07:21) NIMBYs aren't wrong: they are often harmed by development (00:10:44) Street votes give existing residents a say (00:16:29) It's essential to define in advance who gets a say (00:24:37) Property tax distribution might be the most important policy you've never heard of (00:28:55) Using aesthetics to get buy-in for new construction (00:35:48) Locals actually really like having nuclear power plants nearby (00:44:14) It can be really useful to let old and new institutions coexist for a while (00:48:27) Ozempic and living in the decade that we conquered obesity (00:53:05) Northern latitudes still need nuclear power (00:55:30) These highlights are from episode #211 of The 80,000 Hours Podcast : Sam Bowman on why housing still isn’t fixed and what would actually work . These aren't necessarily the most important, or even most entertaining parts of the interview — so if you enjoy this, we strongly recommend checking out the full episode!
