She teaches people how to navigate the grocery store’s mammoth packaged food stock, decipher confusing food labels, understand the relationship of food additives to poor health, and find real food.
We talk about how (and why!) our food supply has become so adulterated, problematic ingredients you want to be SURE to avoid, and where to begin to become a super savvy consumer.
Here are some of the gems you’re in for:
What GRAS status really means (and why it’s not good enough!) How many ingredients have NOT been properly tested for safety Who is in charge of testing the safety of these ingredients (this will surprise you!) The 2 kinds of ingredients you’ll want to avoid like the plague The shocking paleo food that contains yellow food dyes What “natural flavor” REALLY means Mira’s favorite natural flavor What consumers can do to change the way food manufacturers create food products Why Pepsi is waiting for your input Why food additives are especially harmful for our little ones A hidden food additive lurking in your meat sticks (unless you only eat ours, of course!) Why Mira urges consumers to be “brand DISloyal” And so much more!
