The Guardian is turning to its readers for insight, launching a call for questions on the increasingly popular practice of fasting for health reasons. The initiative is part of the research for the next episode of its YouTube series, It's Complicated.
Shaping the Narrative on Modern Eating
The production team behind the channel is examining how constant eating throughout the day has become the norm in many Western societies. Their reporting will delve into the potential physical impacts of this pattern and scrutinise the bold claims made by the new wave of wellness-focused fasting regimens. The goal is to separate evidence-based benefits from trendy hyperbole.
Your Chance to Consult an Expert
This is a direct opportunity for the public to guide the investigation. The Guardian is asking what individuals would ask a leading expert on fasting if given the chance. Questions of any scale are welcome, and the most compelling submissions will not only influence the direction of the reporting but may also be featured directly in the final show.
How to Contribute Securely
Participants aged 18 and over can submit their questions and share their personal stories via an encrypted form provided by The Guardian. Contributions can be made anonymously, and the organisation states that only its team will have access to the responses. All data provided will be used solely for this feature and personal data will be deleted after it is no longer required.
This collaborative approach aims to ground the upcoming episode in the real curiosities and concerns of people navigating the complex world of dietary health trends.
