How The Food Industry is Feeding you Lies with Vani Hari (Foodbabe) and Lewis Howes

Clean Ingredients

Vani Hari is on a mission to ensure clean ingredients in food products. She emphasizes the importance of avoiding unnecessary additives that companies use for appearance, shelf life, or production ease. Vani's dedication to high standards is evident in her work with Truvani, where only the best quality ingredients are used 1. She also highlights the misleading nature of non-GMO labels, stressing that organic certification is crucial to avoid harmful chemicals like glyphosate 2.

Our mission is real food without added chemicals, products without toxins, labels without lies.

Transparency

Transparency in food ingredients is a major focus for Vani. She explains that even organic labels can be misleading, as they may still contain non-organic approved items 3. Vani urges consumers to scrutinize labels and understand where their food comes from and how it's produced. She shares alarming practices like feeding old candy to cattle and the widespread use of growth hormones and antibiotics in feedlots 4.

You are what your food eats, too. So find out where your meat is coming from, find out where your food is coming from, how it's produced before you eat it.

Activism

Vani's activism has led to significant changes in the food industry. Her campaign against Kraft resulted in the removal of artificial dyes from their mac and cheese, demonstrating the power of consumer voices 5. However, she also faces challenges from astroturf campaigns aimed at discrediting her work and confusing the public. These tactics are used by industries to maintain the status quo and silence activists 6.

They will hire not only astroturfers, like groups of online trolls, really just try to get you to shut up.
