How You’re Secretly Manipulated by Your Food & What to Do About It

Discover why our food’s addictive & how to take back control of your health & diet in this fascinating journey into nutrition, artificial flavorings & the food cravings we ALL have.

Listen to the podcast below!

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

Do you ever feel like you’re not in control of your food, but your food is control of you? You know, when you have that one chip, or one bite of ice cream, or a simple little chicken wing, and suddenly, you’ve plowed through an entire bag, box or pint? And perhaps without even knowing it!

If so, then you’re not alone, and do we have the show for you!

Get the whole scoop in this important interview with Mark Schaztker, award-winning food journalist and author of The Dorito Effect: The Surprising New Truth About Food and Flavor.

Today we’re going to talk about an explosion of flavor, and how it’s downright killing us!

We’ll talk about why flavor’s been in charge, what’s happened to our food supply-and why our great-grandma wouldn’t recognize the food of today. We’ll discuss what I call franken-foods or why a chicken’s no longer a chicken, and why no matter how we try, loosing weight almost seems impossible.

Most importantly, we’ll discuss what we can do to make simple changes today, right away, that will make huge impacts in our health, and in our waist bands!
