In this episode, Fabiola Creed and Louise Morgan consider the dietary fad, clean eating, and tanning technologies such as 'MelanoTan'. They examine these cultural phenomena with reference to the financial elements imbricated in the advocation of these technologies and diets, as well as the way in which medical research intersects with public discourse in media representations of clean eating and MelanoTan.
