In a sharp exchange, Sylvain Charlebois, the Food Professor, breaks down why the Competition Bureau’s lawsuit against DoorDash could be a turning point for consumer rights in Canada. He and Shane Hewitt unpack how “drip pricing” misleads customers and what this means for the future of food delivery transparency. Later the conversation turns to McDonald's concern over the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and their impact on consumer behavior and the food industry's reliance on impulse buying. It also touches on the changing consumer demands for portion sizes, the cost of convenience in food delivery apps, and the complexities of pricing and accessibility.
