In Episode 3 Professors Steve Simpson and David Raubenheimer take us through further experiments - this time on humans, fruit flies and mice - to discover that there's a difference between 'benign' and unhealthy obesity, and a tradeoff between longevity and reproduction when it comes to the amount of protein we eat. And we discover why when you're craving barbecue-flavoured chips, you should eat an egg instead. 

Hosted by novelist Charlotte Wood, the first writer-in-residence at the Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney.
