Food Babe Vani Hari, author of Feeding You Lies, Exposes Food Industry Secrets

Vani Hari aka the “Food Babe” has arguably made the biggest impact on the food industry of anyone in the last decade, striking fear in the hearts of food producers and restaurant chains, with her investigative research exposing unhealthy food ingredients and her viral social media campaigns, which have resulted in billion dollar companies actually changing their formulas.

Since the advent of industrialized food, food producers have been able to get away with using questionable, unnecessary, and in some cases demonstrably toxic additives, preservatives, flavors, and colors in the food they sell to us in order to increase profits. But times are changing…

Because of Vani’s grassroots campaigns, ‘Goliath’ brands like Subway, Starbucks, Chipotle, Chik-fil-A, Anheuser-Busch, and many more have improved their formulas by removing unnecessary and potentially harmful food additives, eliminating GMOs, sourcing antibiotic-free animal protein, etc. and fully disclosing the ingredients they use in their recipes so we know exactly what we are eating and drinking.

In our interview, Vani shares aspects of her personal sickness to wellness story that she’s never shared before, and talks about some of her most surprising discoveries and biggest wins in changing the food industry for the better. This is a really fun one. Enjoy!
