The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience EP052: Why It’s Best to Use a Diet as a Food Philosophy and not a Strict Religion
Drew and Lynn welcome Tiffany from Whole Fork, a former Chemist with a passion for eating. Tiffany started her career working for the Department of Defense analyzing and measuring chemical components of various substances. Her scientific way of looking at things has enticed her to buy products from the EU instead of the U.S., follow her own version of the Paleo diet, and spread the belief that people can make companies change by voicing their opinions about additives in products. In this episode, she shares the misnomer behind the “all natural” labels in the U.S. and which ingredient essential oils and gasoline have in common.
