In this podcast, Vani Hari sheds light on troubling practices within the American food industry. She reveals that major food companies often use cheaper, less nutritious ingredients in their U.S. products compared to those sold abroad, pointing to artificial dyes, BHT, and seed oils as significant offenders. Hari also discusses the conflicts of interest within the FDA and the powerful role of industry lobbying, arguing that profit often takes precedence over public health. To combat this, she encourages consumers to become more aware of what they eat and suggests embracing simple, whole-food diets to enhance health and minimize dependence on processed foods filled with artificial additives.
