TIA for listening! This was a fun chat, I know you'll enjoy this one.

In this episode, I want to highlight some of the tactics the food industry uses to influence your buying decisions.

The #1 goal that food companies have is to get you to buy their products. And in all honesty, a lot of those companies don't give 2 s***'s about your health.

At the end of the day.. I really just want you to be an informed consumer. Not a consumer that buys things because you think it’s better for you because the label persuaded you to do so.

Let's talk about some of the things you can look out for when buying packaged foods + how to individualize that to you.

Honestly, it's hard talking about all the little nuances that go into the 'health' of the population but I do my best on this episode.

This was made in light of all the noise you’ve been hearing around food dyes and other individual ingredients this past week.. and I figured a podcast like this could help with some of the confusion and clear the air on a few things.

Most of the evidence-based providers, practitioners and content creators on social media speaking against the whole ‘march to Kellogg’s so they can make cereal healthy for our kids movement’ led by Food babe after the recent roundtable discussion last month... are trying to point out that this is a distraction.

Let's talk about why.

We obviously have a lot more we can discuss but let this be the start of the conversation for some.. and remember that your health is influenced by far more important things (both kids and adults) than whether or not you had Red Dye 40 today.

Give this one a listen and let me know your thoughts! I'm always around to chat. I want this to be a start to the conversation - not the end of it.
