Sheila Dillon presents BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme. She has been a food journalist for almost three decades, beginning work as an editor and writer at the New York based magazine, Food Monitor. For twenty years she has worked on The Food Programme, first as reporter, then producer and now presenter. Her investigative work has won many awards including the Glaxo science prize, Caroline Walker award and several "Glenfiddichs", most recently for her documentary on the scandalous history of the American meat industry. In the late 80s and 90s she and Derek Cooper covered the breaking scandal of BSE, the rise of GM foods, the growth of the organic movement from muck and magic to multi-million pound business, the birth of the World Trade Organisation and irradiation at a time when those subjects were not even a gleam in a newshound's eye. Recent programmes on the chocolate industry and the rise of "nutritionism" carry on the tradition. She is also the creator of Radio 4's first interactive grocery show, Veg Talk. In January 2008 she was awarded an honorary doctorate by City University for her work, which, the citation says, "has changed the way in which we think about food."
