B and astrologist Andy Bellatti sit down to review the astrological charts of several reality stars you might know and love, and they cover the madness surrounding Britney's wedding ceremony.
Can you believe come Thanksgiving, Amanda and I will have been at this podcasting thing for two whole years?! If you've been here from the beginning, you know how far we've come in technical terms of sound and format. (Hush, we know I haven't come far with technologies, but focus!) As two independent, self-taught podcasters we are excited and proud of this little creative endeavor that's become a real gig. But also, you've experienced how we've grown as friends who are still getting to know each other and discovering where we wildly diverge on major hot-button issues like showering and ruffles on kids' clothing. If you're new here, welcome. Hi. We decided this week to take the OG listeners down memory lane a bit and introduce the new Stranger-friends to how this all happened. Here's our official meet-cute. If you're like my husband, you just said “meet-cute, the hell is that?” A meet-cute is a TV term for the first encounter between two characters. You're not like my husband though. You knew what that was. Anyway! In November 2019, Amanda was creating her own podcast called Your Mom Has A Podcast where she'd interview mothers in her orbit to discuss issues ranging from teen pregnancy to infertility struggles. One day she said, fuck it. I'm gonna ask Melissa from The Real World for an interview. She'd watched the show and read Princess Melissa and the seasons of our lives kinda matched up. Marriage. First kid. Breastfeeding. Second kid. Third kid — are we really doing this!? Long term marriage. Mid century modern furniture blah blah blah. Baby girl slid in them DMs (if you listen, you know now that Amanda be bold AF, fearless female, actual boss babe) and somehow, some way I too said fuck it after avoiding most interview or podcast requests for, like, ever. After all, getting into relationships with random strangers for public consumption is in my wheelhouse. I don't know why exactly that DM was the YES but look at how nicely it all worked out. We Podcasting Over Here, MMK?! The thing is — it wasn't an accident as our astrology friend Andy Bellatti would illustrate on our very special 50th (!) episode Written In The Stars where Amanda and I had our chart synastry done. Turns out the stars were aligning for this to take place all the while. An imperfectly perfect beginning to two Imperfect Strangers becoming friends and making a podcast with a capital P. Yup. Shit's cool, right? If you're just getting here, take a stroll through our archives and get to know us as we get to know each other. If you've been here, take a stroll through our archives and replay that shit. You know what the deal is. ‘PRECIATE YOU!

It may not surprise you that food corporations will say pretty much anything to get us to buy their products. They often promote messages like “exercise more” to divert attention from their high-fat or sugar-laden foods. In this week’s episode we talk to one nutritionist whose goal is to flag differences between Big Food’s marketing schemes and actual science. Tired of seeing his industry getting cozy with corporations, Andy Bellatti founded Dietitians for Professional Integrity. He is known for speaking out against flash-in-the-pan diets and corporate sponsorships. In the episode, Andy shares the good points of fad diets like Paleo and gives us his recipe for a guilt-free treat. Plus, we’ve got an update from Tom Philpott on green smoothies and the latest on what one poultry company is doing to get their chickens to play more.
Andy Bellatti became a card-carrying member of the American Dietetic Association (now Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics - AND) as soon as he completed his training as a registered dietitian.
When Andy Bellatti completed his graduate degree in nutrition studies at NYU, he was shocked to find that the “continuing education” credits he was required to take every year were sponsored by Cocoa Cola and the Corn Refiners Association. “I could earn one credit by hearing about how Sun Chips are good source of whole grains and why I should recommend them to clients,” he tells Rob. “What makes it most infuriating is that these presentations are looked at as so-called ‘sound science.’ If you stand against them, you’re stigmatized.” Disturbed by the food industry’s control over the continuing education of dietitians, Andy decided to co-found the organization “Dietitians for Professional Integrity,” which seeks to expose the cosy relationships between the food industry and front organizations like the “American Society for Nutrition.” These “societies” purport to research nutrition while receiving generous funds from McDonald’s and pharmaceutical companies. “I studied nutrition to learn about health, and to help people achieve better living through food,” he says. “If I wanted to advertise for the food industry, I would have sought out an MBA.” With so much dietary tribalism out there, it’s easy to get confused about the real cause of the obesity epidemic: the food industry. By lobbying the U.S. government to subsidize foods that are unhealthy, funding sham studies to confuse the public and misinforming via social media, the industry wants to ensure that the average consumer can’t tell the difference between a pop tart and a Kale salad. “Why are we debating garbanzo beans when we could redirect that energy to taking on the food industry?” Andy asks. “The truth is that the industry thrives on misinformation. People are terrified of dietary fat and think a Nutrigrain bar is healthier than a handful of almonds or an avocado." "[The industry] wants the consumer to think that cooking is hard and, instead, they should pick up Rice-a-Roni, Hamburger Helper or Betty Crocker mashed potatoes. People don’t realize you can make a home-cooked meal in 15-20 minutes.” Bellatti is also exposing the food industry’s influence on government-sponsored healthy eating programs: “Even in Michelle Obama’s “My Plate” campaign, you still see how powerful the dairy lobby is because people are encouraged to have three servings of dairy a day and drink milk with every meal. This isn’t necessary. What should be next to that plate is a glass of water.” Bellatti encourages folks to look up the organizations that fund studies through sites like Source Watch before believing the health claims they see in news stories.

Today on the show I welcome nutritionist and dietitian Andy Bellatti MS, RD. Sure we talk plant-based and other issues related to optimal nutrition (hint: eat REAL FOOD!).But what makes Andy unique amongst his peers isn't so much his pro-plant bias as it is his passion for calling out the inextricable link between giant food corporations and how we innately come to think and feel about the foods we (often unconsciously choose to) eat.From congressional legislation to school lunch policy, the food pyramid and what we are actually led to believe we need to live and thrive is in more ways than you would imagine completely dictated by these corporations, their lobbying efforts and Madison Avenue advertising agencies. What makes Andy different is his courage to take a stand on this issue and his tireless push for positive changes, both systemic and individual.Enjoy!SHOW NOTES* Andy Bellatti Website* Dietitians For Professional Integrity* “How the Obesity Focus Hurts the Health Movement” by Andy Bellatti (HuffingtonPost.com)* “How Did My Profession's Conference Get Hijacked by Big Food?” by Andy Bellatti (AppetiteForProfit.com)* “Beyond Pink Slime” by Andy Bellatti (SmallBites.com)* “Kellog's Misleads And, Yes, Farmwashes” by Andy Bellatti (SmallBites.com)* “Let's Put an End to ‘Dietary Tribalism'” by Andy Bellatti (Grist.org)* “Taping of Farm Cruelty is Becoming the Crime” by Richard Oppel, Jr. (New York Times)* Andy Bellatti Twitter: @andybellatti* Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition, and Health, by Marion Nestle* Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health, and How To Fight Back, by Michele Simon* VB6: Eat Vegan Before 6:00 to Lose Weight and Restore Your Health…For Good, by Mark BittmanOne more self-serving rant: the paperback version of Finding Ultra* is coming ou...
