Preparation
In a small food processor or blender, combine basil, olive oil, pine nuts, Parmesan (if using), garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Toss asparagus with melted butter or ghee, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
Place cod fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon a generous layer of pesto over each fillet.
Roast for 12–15 minutes, or until cod is opaque and flakes easily and asparagus is tender.
Plate cod with asparagus. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and extra pesto if desired.
In this podcast, Kessler argues that America’s obesity crisis is driven less by willpower and more by ultra-processed foods engineered to hijack the brain’s reward circuits, creating “toxic” visceral fat that fuels diabetes, heart disease, and more. He has filed a petition to strip refined sugars and starches of their “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) status—forcing industry reform—drawing clear parallels to past tobacco regulation. GLP-1 drugs can help, he says, but lasting progress requires real food, exercise, education, and policy changes—labeling, limits on marketing, and incentives—that make the healthy choice the default.
