This week, it's a story from RNZ's In Depth team: 'Fully embedded': The food lobby in Aotearoa.

Investigative reporter Guyon Espiner has come out with a new series, Off the Shelf, looking at the quiet struggle to stop New Zealanders eating themselves sick.

He joins Alexia Russell to discuss the series and read his story himself.

How the food industry throws its weight – and its money – around in sport, politics, nutrition, and education.
