Episode 41: Hazardous Chemicals in Our Food System Featuring Activist Vani Hari, the ‘Food Babe’

We’re excited to kick off Season 5 of our podcast with a truly special guest, Vani Hari! Often recognized as the Food Babe, Vani is a passionate food activist and New York Times best-selling author. She launched FoodBabe.com in April 2011 to shed light on what’s really in the American food supply. Her groundbreaking investigations have led to major shifts in large food companies, earning her recognition from Time magazine as one of the most influential people on the Internet. Today, you’ll witness Vani’s incredible dedication to educating people on making smart grocery choices, embracing an organic lifestyle, and maintaining healthy habits while traveling.

Vani starts by sharing her journey, explaining where her passion comes from, and how her research—particularly one book—has profoundly influenced her. She discusses how embracing whole and organic foods has transformed her life and details her transition from the corporate world to her current role as an activist. Vani also dives into the eye-opening facts she’s uncovered and the criticism she has faced along the way.
