Exposing the Food Industry's Biggest Secrets with The Food Babe, Vani Hari | Episode 135

In this episode of the Unlock the Sugar Shackles podcast, I interview The Food Babe, Vani Hari, a passionate advocate for healthy food choices. Vani shares her personal experience growing up with fast food and how it influenced her eating habits. She also discusses what Big Food doesn't want consumers to know, as well as her journey of taking on food giants like Kraft, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, and Chipotle. Tune in to learn more about Vani's story and what inspired her to make a difference in the food industry and how you can help make better choices for you and your family!TODAY'S SPONSORSGOOD IDEA: Use code DANIHEALTH for 10% off your order! TODAY'S GUESTNamed as one of the “Most Influential People” on the Internet by Time Magazine, Vani Hari is the revolutionary food activist behind FoodBabe.com, co-founder of organic food brand Truvani, New York Times best selling author of Food Babe Kitchen, The Food Babe Way, and Feeding You Lies. For most of her life, Vani ate whatever she wanted—candy, soda, fast food, processed food—until her typical American diet landed her where that diet typically does, in a hospital. Despite her successful career in corporate consulting, Hari decided that health had to become a priority. Her newfound goal drove her to investigate what is really in our food, how it is grown and what chemicals are used in its production. The more she learned, the more she changed and the better she felt. Encouraged by her friends and family, Hari started a blog called foodbabe.com in 2011. It quickly became a massive vehicle for change. She has led campaigns against food giants like Kraft, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Subway and General Mills that attracted more than 500,000 signatures and led to the removal of several controversial ingredients used by these companies. Through corporate activism, petitions, and social media campaigns, Hari and her Food Babe Army have become one of the most powerful populist forces in the health and food industries. Her drive to change the food system inspired the creation of her new company called Truvani, where she produces real food without added chemicals, products without toxins, and labels without lies. Hari has been profiled in the New York Times and The Atlantic, and has appeared on Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, CNN, The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors, and NPR. Vani lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband Finley and two children.
