We've been creating a lot more content about food recently because many Detect & Detox Test users test high for hormone-disrupting chemicals due to toxins in their foods. We help people detox from BPA in their can liners, parabens used as preservatives, phthalates from their takeout containers, and more. However, there are other toxic chemicals in a lot of conventional foods that are beyond plastic chemicals. I'm talking about herbicides like glyphosate. Glyphosate is a toxic chemical used in RoundUp, one of the most common weed-killers in the world. Increasing research suggests that glyphosate can pose some health risks, and it's best if we avoid foods that contain it altogether. With that said, this is easier than done, and we must be advocates for ourselves. That's why we're so excited to be joined by Kelly Ryerson, known to social media as Glyphosate Girl. Kelly Ryerson is an environmental health writer, filmmaker, and ardent public health advocate. We can't wait to hear about her efforts to educate millions and change the laws surrounding the use of glyphosate.

Friends, it is my great pleasure to introduce Vani Hari, aka Food Babe, someone I've had the privilege of knowing for nearly a decade. She is a relentless advocate for clean, safe, and wholesome food. She has dedicated herself to a tireless campaign aimed at eliminating harmful ingredients from our food supply, particularly in the United States, where food standards can sometimes be shockingly low. Her efforts have been resolute in challenging major food corporations when their practices are detrimental to the well-being of our children and society as a whole. Vani Hari's mission is driven by a genuine concern for the greater good, and I dare say that she has had a more significant impact on food safety and quality than some of the regulatory agencies tasked with these responsibilities in the first place. Vani's new book, Food Baby Family: More Than 100 Recipes and Foolproof Strategies to Help Your Kids Fall in Love with Real Food serves as a comprehensive guide for how her family navigates the challenges of living in a world filled with overly processed, unhealthy food options. In this conversation we discuss the importance of educating your kids on processed foods and proper nutrition early on. Vani and I share some of the lessons we've learned in teaching our kids about nutrition, and how we've empowered them to choose foods that make them feel good.Together, we have the power to stand up against the multibillion-dollar conglomerates that persist in feeding us products that are, in essence, poison. By making informed, healthier choices for ourselves and our families, we can redirect our resources toward companies that are genuinely committed to improving the landscape and producing high-quality products.(00:03:10) Vani Hari's Journey in Food Activism & ResilienceHow Vani unveiled hidden chemicals in our foodExposing a harmful chemical in Subway bread Read: Feeding You Lies By Vani HariBeing targeted by organized oppositionHow Vani's health journey inspired her to find purposeNavigating constant badgering online being paid for by big chemical companies How Gabby Bernstein helped Vani persevere through manipulations and attacksThe history of PR in the USWhat drives Vani to continue this workRead: Food Babe Family By Vani Hari (00:24:16) The Truth About Processed Foods & How to Uphold Your Food Values SociallyHow the food industry thrives on making food that isn't good for our health Removing processed foods from your dietThe importance of educating kids about processed foods early on Teaching kids to be kind and acceptingCommunicating why you do/don't buy certain foods to your kidsWhat happened when I took my daughters to McDonald's for the first time How fast food hijacks your brainExposing chemicals in the infamous Pumpkin Spice LatteHow to uphold your food values in social settingsWhy goldfish are banned in Vani's house and alternative snacks(00:40:41) Helping Kids Navigate Their Food Choices to Make Healthier DecisionsHealthy, satiating breakfast ideas for kidsTruvani collagen: shop.truvani.com/pages/collagen-peptidesWhy Kellogg is one of the most evil companies in the worldEmpowering kids to choose how they feel through the food they eatHow processed foods led to Vani's appendicitisBeing a happier parent by being less of a perfectionistHow kids can hold you accountableResourcesDave Asprey's NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder' is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Read: Food Babe Family By Vani Hari Website: foodbabe.comYouTube: youtube.com/thefoodbabeInstagram: @thefoodbabeShop: truvani.comThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A conversation with Karen Washington, a food justice activist who coined the term "food apartheid" to both describe our current food system in America, as well as to provoke a reckoning in our political consciousness.   

While Fund for Teachers has invested $30 million in teacher grants for summer fellowships since 2001, this marks only the second year that we've awarded Innovation Circle Grants. To extend the value of our traditional summer fellowships, we created this space for FFT Fellows to connect and collaborate around key priorities in education. Fellows propose innovative inquiries into a predetermined set of topics and, through a selective process, receive up to $1,500 to individually pursue summer learning experiences and then convene virtually with other Fellows to reflect and implement their learning in the classroom.  Today's podcast is specifically about Innovation Circle Grants – what they are and what they can do – for teachers and their students.Today we're learning from FFT Fellow Pooja Bhaskar. In 2016, Pooja taught at the International High School for Health Sciences in Queens and used a Fund for Teachers' grant to achieve intermediate proficiency in the Hindi language in Bombay, India, to better support students and their families emigrating from Tibet, India and Bangladesh. Last summer, with an Innovation Circle Grant, they researched the art, agriculture and history of Guatemala's indigenous groups to incorporate authentic, interdisciplinary artifacts into science curricula for recently immigrated students at the Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice.Download Pooja's curriculum created on Food Activism and Plant Medicine with their grant here.

#070:  Regenerative Organic and GMO Labeling champion David Bronner talks about the ongoing fight farmers and food activists face against global chemical companies. David Bronner is an organic food and farming activist and the leader (Cosmic Engagement Officer) of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, a company founded by his grandfather. David is active in campaigns for fair trade, sustainable agriculture, animal rights, and played a key role in the mission to label GMOs. He has written a handful of articles for the Huffington Post:https://www.huffpost.com/entry/on-the-organic-trade-association_b_11306156 To watch a video version of this podcast with access to the full transcript and links relevant to our conversation, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/david-bronner-verifying-organic-supply-chains-epsiode-seventyThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

We've all heard the phrase, “you are what you eat” and studies now show that there is more truth to this statement than we thought.  Our food and beverage consumption has a huge impact on our overall health and quality of life.  Over the past decade, information about nutrition has become more easily accessible, and consumer spending on wellness has significantly increased.  However, disease rates continue to rise and the health of society as a whole continues to decline.  It's clear that we still have more to learn about proper nutrition and how we can implement better dietary choices into our lives. Our host, Jonathan, is joined by acclaimed integrative nutritionist and food activist, Courtney Swan.  Courtney is the founder of Real Foodology, a blog and instagram account where she aims to educate consumers on the dirty practices of the food industry and the proper way to eat more healthfully, through consuming real wholesome foods.  Courtney shares so much valuable wisdom with us on how we can all strive for better health through our consumption and breaks down some common nutrition myths.  Cheers!

Welcome back to the Robin Zander Show.  I first met Mark Brand through his talk at Responsive Conference 2017. The conversation in today's episode is broad in scope, but the central thread is Mark's tireless effort towards improving equality for all people. In Mark's world, that is predominantly through getting people fed. As a former restaurateur myself, I'm blown away by what Mark has accomplished, the millions and millions of people he has fed and his own personal triumphs. He's gone from being unhoused to being a successful serial entrepreneur and philanthropist. Anyone who wants to really have an impact on the world can learn a lot from Mark Brand's approach and philosophies.  Please enjoy this wide ranging conversation with my friend, Mark Brand.

Everyone winters at one time or another, perhaps it is a result of illness, death in the family, the pressures of work…or a pandemic. Wintering is a period of isolation when you feel like you fall between the cracks of life and feel blocked from progress. In this episode, best selling author Katherine May shares tips on how to embrace the winter of our lives in small ways and how to recognize the process and engage with it mindfully. She shows us how to slow down, pay attention to moments of transition, and learn to prepare for the next phase. By embracing winter and really listening to its messages, we can learn about ourselves and also, more importantly, we can learn to look more kindly on other people’s crises. As Katherine says, “we may never choose to winter, but we can choose how.” I loved this empowering and thoughtful conversation, and I know you will too. WINTERING: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May is a brilliant narrative nonfiction book rich with nature writing, poetry and mythology, philosophy, and memoir – all elegantly exploring ways the natural world tries to teach us, over and over, to take a season of deep rest and retreat. Liz Gilbert loved the book saying it is, “every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. . . . This is truly a beautiful book.”Wintering is a contemplative, hopeful, consoling book. "I recognized winter," she writes. "I greeted it and let it in...Nature shows that survival is a practice." Here is a video of Katherine talking about Wintering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a5APKn8u4I  She has a beautiful way of telling her story and also has started a podcast sharing other peoples’ experiences called The Wintering Sessions.

After working in some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world, Louisiana-born Chef and author Ryan Rondeno developed his signature style of flavor and execution which garnered him celebrity clients like Will Smith, Common, Ben Affleck, P. Diddy and many more. In this episode, I ask Chef Ryan about the kind of mentality it took to achieve success in the highly competitive world of culinary arts, and how he balances his "What's next" mentality with appreciating the small wins along the journey.

I'm absolutely THRILLED to release this episode because of our special guest 'The Food Babe,' aka Vani Hari! Vani is a New York Times Best Selling Author and has been recognized by Time Magazine as one of the '30 Most Influential People on the Internet' due to her passion for food activism and her quest to banish questionable & potentially harmful ingredients and chemicals in the food industry. Her blog, FoodBabe.com, and its following have been instrumental in increasing public awareness of sketchy ingredient lists and nutrition labels of many food & beverage industry titans, such as Kraft, General Mills, Subway, and Anheuser-Busch, and in some cases has been responsible for affecting change within these companies. In an effort to further directly impact the food industry, Vani co-founded an organic, all-natural food brand called Truvani, whose mission is to bring 'Products Without Toxins, Labels Without Lies' to the market. Working to accomplish this goal, Truvani products feature completely transparent product labels so consumers know exactly what they're putting into their bodies.

If you can commit to serving fresh fruits and vegetables every time you serve food— to yourself, to others, and especially to children, you will feel better, you will look better, and your community and loved ones will thrive. Food security is national security, and supporting the US farmers who grow our produce is a vote for healthy bodies and healthy economies. Today we talk with Lori Taylor of The Produce Moms, a community of passionate fresh produce advocates with a mission to inspire everyone, especially children, to eat more fruits and vegetables. For ten years Lori sold fresh produce to over 300 grocery stores throughout the US. Today, Lori and her team are fully focused on educating consumers about fresh produce, introducing them to produce brands, engaging the produce industry with consumers in inspiring conversations, and promoting public policy to protect and increase the availability of fresh produce at American schools. Lori is a top child nutrition lobbyist and grassroots activist in the US with a staunch focus on bringing more fresh-form fruits and vegetables to USDA School Meals as well as food insecurity nutrition programs such as SNAP and WIC. Her policy work in D.C. includes Farm Bill and Child Nutrition Reauthorization. Lori is the host of The Produce Moms Podcast, a seasoned Keynote Speaker and is currently writing her first book. Lori resides in Indianapolis, IN with her husband Chip, their two sons Joe and Mac, and their Great Dane. In this episode… How The Produce Moms got started Don’t overthink it—one step in the right direction is how you start addressing these issues 94% of the farms in the US are family-owned Food security is national security The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program within the Federal School Nutrition Program Food is culture Producing more using less is the secret to sustainability in our agriculture systems No one cares about the planet the way that growers do Technology in agriculture Whole Foods named “regenerative agriculture” the top food trend of 2020 Double up food bucks—stretching the SNAP and WIC dollars at farmers’ markets Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program empowers both students and the local food economy Only 2% of the fruits and vegetables served in schools are “fresh form” or raw Monthly produce challenge calendar Resources The Produce Moms website The Produce Moms Podcast The Produce Challenge Calendar lori@theproducemoms.com Soul Soil Podcast Patreon Page Soul Soil Grow and Glow package

Join cohosts Ethan & Vallery for a conversation with Gaïana Joseph and Allegra Massaro, co-founders of Fuel the People, an organization in NYC and DC guided by the belief that food is the fuel for the revolution. They work to provide nourishment to protestors on the front lines, support local Black and POC-owned restaurants and businesses, and donate to local organizations who work tirelessly to support Black liberation. Allegra is a Philadelphia native currently living in Washington, DC. She’s a Bryn Mawr College alumna with a degree in Urban Planning & Development. A recovering financier, she now works in business ethics and conflicts management at an international law firm and is in the midst of the JD/MBA application process. Her quote to live by is, “Radical simply means ‘grasping things at the root.'" She is passionate about building community and ensuring that in the fight for justice and liberation, we never forget that joy is also a form of resistance. Gaïana Joseph is a New York native with her roots (and heart) in Haïti. She’s a Smith College alumna with a degree in Africana and French Studies. Somehow, that has brought her two very different careers in Business Process at Penguin Random House and now Project Management at a financial tech company.  In March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country.

Do you value sustainability? Vegan? Concerned about the agricultural impact on the environment? What if you want to improve the environment and have your food choices reflect that? Pull up a chair and let's chat. This episode of Love Food features guest expert Christy Harrison, author of the newly released Anti-Diet. This episode is brought to you by my courses: PCOS and Food Peace and Dietitians PCOS and Food Peace. You CAN make peace with food even with PCOS and I want to show you how. This episode's Dear Food letter: Dear Food, I've been in recovery from anorexia and orthorexia for over 6 months now and have been feeling so much better! Digestive issues I've expereinced for years have finally cleared up, and I love the way my body feels when I am nourishing it and giving it what it wants. Nevertheless, I struggle with the ways my food choices impact the environment. For a long time, while fully enmeshed in my eating disorder, I set out to live without electricity and try to grow all my own food--anything I did buy had to be something that I could concivibly produce in my area. This was a lot of rules and Ed loved it. During times when I fell short of vision and ate imported foods, I was ashamed, and during times when I succeeded I felt superior to others who lacked the discipline to care for the Earth the way I did. All and all I was unhealthy and isolated. Now in my recovery, I no longer have such high standards. I try to live simply but give myself the joy of buying foods and now use electricity to do some of the things I love and carea about. I've also become involved in environmental activism. In the climate justice sphere, veganism is often touted as a major step one can take for the Earth. Inspite of this, I know deep down that eating animal products can be done in a way that it in balance with Earth and my body. I also know that the more time I spend obsessing on food, the less energy I have for this activism I care so much about!  But it is hard food, hard to be among people who claim that there is a moral imperative to eat in a certain way. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to find food peace while also believing certain foods are better for the environment and others aren't. How can I have food peace when I feel my dietary choices are something I need to defend? How can I have food peace when a part of me knows that entire way we live now, including how we get our food, isn't in balance with the Earth?

If the goal is a socially just food system, is it enough for consumers to vote with their forks, or for food activism to focus on urban areas and concerns? Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern says we need to shift the focus from consumer-led food initiatives to movements led by farmworkers and supported by consumers. She finds the activities of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers particularly instructive and inspiring. (Encore presentation.)

This week on Meat + Three, meet four of our Hall of Fame inductees. They’re chefs that have changed the way we see, taste, and experience food. We begin with Alice Waters, a counter culture chef who has planted a seed of deliciousness in schoolyards across the country. Todd Richards shares the impact that family has on his cookbooks, kitchens, and food philosophy. Julia Turshen inspires us with her work "Feeding the Resistance," and Tunde Wey tackles racial and wealth disparity with hot chicken pop ups and his powerful brand of activism. See our full Hall of Fame at heritageradionetwork.org/halloffame. Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

It may be 25 years later, but the deep DNA of racism and social injustice still lingers in the foods we eat, who gets to claim them as their own and our understanding of ourselves through what we eat. Television personality, Author and Chef Zola Nene and Food Anthropologist and Social Justice activist, Zayaan Khan share stories of freedom, self-determined rights to eat what we want in our ode to the promise offered by Nelson Mandela’s becoming south Africa’s first Democratically elected President.

On Episode 193 of the Mama Bear Dares Podcast, Tesi and Leslie sit down with Helene Defossez, an an author and activist who leads a group of Mama Bears (les mamans ours!) in her home country of France. The three women jump into a delightful and fierce conversation about food as activism and why eating more veggies and less (or no!) meat is an act of resistance in terms of climate change. The women discuss veganism and the treatment of animals, veganism as an environmental and political practice, and vegetables as a means of improved health. Also discussed is culture and relationship to food and farming practices, compassionate living, and Tesi’s discovery of the garlic press. :-) For links and complete Show Notes, visit the Mama Bear Dares website.

Lisa Kivirist, an old hand at this whole Rootstock Radio thing (listen to her other episode here!) is still involved with supporting, empowering and connecting women farmers through Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES) and serves as a Senior Fellow, Endowed Chair in Agricultural Systems at the Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Minnesota. Recently, Lisa has also redoubled her efforts around cottage food activism in Wisconsin. Fighting for people to be able to sell low-risk foods, like cookies for instance, that they make in their own kitchens is really common sense to Lisa. "what we're talking about is actually the 'oldest' newest thing," she says, reminding us that before commercial kitchens were even a concept people sold goods they'd cooked in their home kitchens almost exclusively.

In a moment when there's lots of conversation about diversity, food activist Ashtin Berry is committed to helping define a language to understand equity in hospitality and sharing how to take that next step into action. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, Berry reflects on how she pushed past her anger to find her own voice in order to fight the inequity and injustice she saw around her in the hospitality industry.

One of our favorite ways to spend a Friday evening is celebrating food activism– so we completely lucked out on January 19th, when HRN had a front row seat at the Good Food Awards. This is the 8th year that the organization has spotlighted the many food producers across the country who are currently excelling at social good and sustainability, while also creating delicious food. 199 winners– from 15 different categories– received medals, and along the way, we also heard inspirational speeches from some of the winners, plus icons Alice Waters, Madhur Jaffrey, and Sarah Weiner, founder of the Good Food Awards, emceed by the one and only Sam Mogannam of Bi-Rite Market.

The New Food Activism: Alison Alkon, Tanya Kerssen, & Joann Lo | Ep. 16 by Real Food Media

What does a food activist do? To answer the question, you need to look no further than Anna Lappé. She is the founder and director of Real Food Media, a collaborative initiative that catalyzes creative storytelling and media about food, farming, and sustainability. “We work with partners across the country to really elevate the solutions that we find out there that are really transforming the food system toward greater sustainability and equity, and then we help people understand what are the real impacts that we have to worry about it, about our current foods just don't why we need such transformation” she says.In this episode, she discusses why the food choices that are good for your body are also good for the planet, why consumer demand for meat is constructed, and why cooking a good meal at home is a good idea.I’m not so sure that food activism in the digital age is that much different than food activism at any other time. You know, I think we know how to make transformative change. And one of the best ways to do that is through organizing and through working in one’s own community and scaling that up. So that doesn’t really change that much in the digital age. I would say one of the ways in which activism is influenced by the digital age is unfortunately how this new era has really unleashed a phenomenon of evermore fake news of the proliferation of misinformation, and of the challenges of getting our story out. -- Anna Lappe´Some of the food activists we are interviewing on this podcast are looking to tech and apps for solutions to hunger and food insecurity. Anna is looking to education and policy changes - but in ways that may surprise you. Extended show notes at http://futurefood.fm. Follow our journey on Instagram.

What role does food play in building sustainable communities? How might cultural traditions challenge us to think differently about the environment and public health interventions? What roles do food activism and culinary entrepreneurship play in social justice work? In episode 51 of the Imagine Otherwise podcast, host Cathy Hannabach interviews chef and eco-educator Aileen Suzara about her journey into professional cooking, the familial stories she has uncovered connecting land to community and memory, the important role of Filipino farmers in the sustainability movement and food activism, and how Filipino cooks and farmers across the diaspora are creating some tasty ways to imagine otherwise. Transcript and show notes: https://ideasonfire.net/51-aileen-suzara
