Conscious eating is a mindset in which the food you choose is thought about on all levels, from its physical satisfaction and nutrition to its impact on the planet. Christina travels to Rome to cook with a chef who has taken the idea of conscious eating and adapted many iconic Italian dishes to become kinder to human health and to the planet.
