Podcasts about packaged foods

Are the products you use every day poisoning you? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien dives into phthalates, a class of toxic chemicals found in food packaging, personal care products, medical devices, and even children's toys. Despite mounting evidence linking phthalates to hormone disruption, infertility, obesity, and chronic illness, these chemicals remain largely unregulated in the United States. Darin breaks down why phthalates are everywhere, how they impact your body, and what you can do to protect yourself. He also highlights Minnesota's groundbreaking SF 188 bill, which aims to force food manufacturers to test and disclose phthalate contamination for the first time in U.S. history. If you care about your health, your family, and the toxic load in your daily life, this is a must-listen episode that will make you rethink what you're consuming. Government Responsibility in the Spread of Phthalates Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastics more flexible and durable. Since the mid-20th century, they've been incorporated into countless consumer goods, from food packaging to personal care products. This widespread use is largely due to regulatory inaction and the prioritization of industrial interests over public health. In the United States, agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been slow to regulate phthalates, despite mounting evidence linking them to serious health issues. These include endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and chronic illnesses such as obesity and diabetes. Unlike Europe, which has banned certain phthalates in food packaging and children's products, the U.S. has often allowed industry self-regulation, leading to widespread contamination in consumer goods. The Industrial Agricultural Revolution and Processed Foods The post-World War II industrialization of food production significantly increased the use of phthalates. As food manufacturing scaled up, plastics became integral in packaging and processing equipment, leading to phthalate leaching into our food supply. Highly processed foods are particularly susceptible due to multiple points of plastic contact during production and storage. Studies have shown that individuals consuming more processed and fast foods have higher levels of phthalates in their bodies. Minnesota's Legislative Action: A Step Forward In January 2025, Minnesota State Senator Heather Gustafson introduced Senate File 188 (SF 188), a bill requiring food manufacturers to test their products for phthalates and publicly disclose the results. If passed, this legislation would be the first of its kind in the U.S., aiming to increase transparency and encourage manufacturers to reduce phthalate levels in their products. According to Senator Gustafson, "Minnesotans have the right to know whether the food they are eating and serving their families is contaminated with toxic phthalates. My bill will help consumers make healthier buying decisions and create a strong incentive for food manufacturers to get plastic chemicals out of our food."  advocacy.consumerreports.org Why This Matters This bill is crucial because it: Increases Transparency: For the first time, food companies would be required to test for and disclose phthalate levels, creating public awareness of the contamination problem. Encourages Stricter Regulations: Public disclosure could lead to consumer pressure for stronger nationwide bans and restrictions. Prioritizes Public Health: It challenges the longstanding prioritization of industry preferences over public health, acknowledging that chemical exposure is a public health crisis. Addresses Chronic Illness: With rising rates of metabolic disorders and hormone-related diseases linked to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates, holding manufacturers accountable is a step toward reversing this trend. Products Commonly Containing Phthalates and Associated Health Risks Phthalates are pervasive in many consumer products. Here's a breakdown of common sources and the potential health implications: Personal Care Products: Items such as nail polishes, hair sprays, aftershave lotions, cleansers, and shampoos often contain phthalates.  fda.gov Food Packaging and Processed Foods: Phthalates can leach into food from packaging materials and during processing. Diets high in dairy and meat have been associated with higher levels of phthalate exposure.  webmd.com Medical Devices: Some medical devices, including intravenous bags and tubing, contain phthalates to increase flexibility.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Household Items: Products like vinyl flooring, shower curtains, and certain furniture may contain phthalates.  toxicfreefuture.org Children's Toys: Some toys, especially those made from flexible plastics, can contain phthalates.  toxicfreefuture.org   Health Risks Associated with Phthalate Exposure Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with the body's hormonal systems. Potential health effects include: Reproductive Issues: Exposure has been linked to reproductive problems, including reduced fertility.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Developmental Problems: Prenatal exposure may lead to developmental issues in children.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Respiratory Issues: There is evidence suggesting a link between phthalate exposure and respiratory problems, such as asthma.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Metabolic Effects: Some studies have associated phthalate exposure with metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and obesity.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov   Steps to Reduce Phthalate Exposure To minimize exposure to phthalates: Choose Phthalate-Free Products: Opt for personal care items labeled as phthalate-free. Limit Processed Food Intake: Reducing consumption of processed foods can decrease phthalate exposure. Use Alternatives to Plastic: Whenever possible, choose glass, stainless steel, or other non-plastic materials for food storage and household items. Stay Informed: Regularly check resources like the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database to find products free from harmful chemicals. How You Can Take Action While Minnesota is leading the way, collective action is essential to drive nationwide change. Here are steps you can take: Support the Bill: If you're in Minnesota, contact your state legislators to express support for SF 188. You can find more information and track the bill's progress here. Sign Petitions: Look for petitions advocating for the reduction of phthalates in consumer products and add your voice. Stay Informed: Follow organizations like Consumer Reports and Clean Water Action, which are actively involved in this issue. Reduce Personal Exposure: Limit consumption of highly processed foods, use glass or stainless steel for food storage, and avoid products with "fragrance" listed as an ingredient, as it can be a source of phthalates. Active Petition to Support Minnesota's SF 188 As of now, there isn't a specific petition available for Minnesota's SF 188 bill. However, you can take proactive steps to support this legislation: Contact Legislators: Reach out to Minnesota state legislators to express your support for SF 188. Personalized messages can be impactful. Stay Informed: Monitor the bill's progress through the Minnesota Revisor's Office website. Conclusion Minnesota's initiative is a significant step toward addressing the pervasive issue of phthalate contamination. However, true accountability requires federal-level bans, a shift toward non-toxic alternatives, and a rethinking of industrial food production. By staying informed and taking action, we can collectively push for a healthier future.   Bibliography Consumer Reports.

This week, Jenn is releasing the winning episode from the Salad With A Side Of Fries March Madness tournament! In today's encore episode, Jenn discusses clean eating. She talks about her pet peeves around what clean eating has become and how it has gotten away from its guiding principles. Jenn talks about the confusion that clean eating has led to, from conversations with others to how food is packaged and advertised. Jenn then transitions into what clean eating means to her and how we want the importance to be focused on how each individual feels, avoiding allergens, and eating closer to nature. Tune in today to learn more about how clean eating is an individualized way of eating and how to implement it into your life. IN THIS EPISODE:●   [5:53] Jenn's pet peeves around “clean eating.”●   [14:50] Myths around clean eating. ●   [17:53] What are Jenn's thoughts around Whole 30?●   [19:27] What are you actually supposed to eat?●   [22:05] What is the risk when focusing on “clean eating”? ●   [28:10] What was clean eating designed to mean?●   [30:50] Adjusting clean eating around allergens. ●   [36:35] What is C.R.A.P.?●   [40:13] How to look at and think about packaged ingredients.●   [41:24] Guiding principles to eating well for your body.●   [43:22] What is non-food eating? ●   [44:30] How do we manage to reduce sugar? KEY TAKEAWAYS:●   Everyone's definition of “clean eating” is different. It's ok that different people think about clean eating differently - it's what is “clean” for them. Get curious about what other people mean by clean eating. ●   Clean eating is finding the balance of things that make us feel our best and a diet that can be sustained. Be willing to eat at restaurants and be flexible, make sure that we aren't so focused on a way of eating that it becomes unhealthy and unsustainable. ●   The original premise of clean eating was about getting more foods on our plates that are wholesome, nutritious, and closer to the source (minimally processed)—eating the rainbow, adding more veggies, etc.  QUOTES: "Something might be labeled clean but that doesn't inherently mean it's healthful.” -  Jenn Trepeck“My approach with clients is to figure out a plan where the tracks won't break in 30 days.” - Jenn Trepeck“If the tracks broke and we feel like we failed, it's not us, it's the track. This plan is what didn't allow for life, and therefore it's not the plan for life.” - Jenn Trepeck“I think a big piece of clean eating that is still different for each person is minimizing the allergens.” - Jenn Trepeck“We don't want perfection and purity to be the enemy of good and improvement." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries Instagram

Most of us lead very busy lives. A lot of packaged foods on the market care more about their bottom line than your health. That's why I love finding Natural Food Entrepreneurs whose products begin with your health, like this week's guest Sara McGlothlin.

Her practice is inspired by her passion of educating others how to live healthier lives.  In early January 2019, after publishing her first cookbook, she and her husband Alex launched their natural foods company, Gratisfied, fueled by their desire to make more of an impactful change in the packaged food space. Gratisfied is founded on the mission that there can be a world where nutrition and convenience co-exist. In June of 2020, Sara created her online magazine Healthified and subsequently launched The Healthified Podcast as platforms to share and educate across holistic health topics.  Before obtaining her certification as a holistic nutrition consultant, she worked in sales and marketing in both the banking and natural foods industries. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Economics, and received her Masters in Elementary Education from Mary Baldwin College.

The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. In today's episode, Jenn discusses clean eating. She talks about her pet peeves around what clean eating has become and how it has gotten away from its guiding principles. Jenn talks about the confusion that clean eating has led to, from conversations with others to how food is packaged and advertised. Jenn then transitions into what clean eating means to her and how we want the importance to be focused on how each individual feels, avoiding allergens, and eating closer to nature. Tune in today to learn more about how clean eating is an individualized way of eating and how to implement it into your life.IN THIS EPISODE:●   [5:53] Jenn's pet peeves around “clean eating.”●   [14:50] Myths around clean eating. ●   [17:53] What are Jenn's thoughts around Whole 30?●   [19:27] What are you actually supposed to eat?●   [22:05] What is the risk when focusing on “clean eating”? ●   [28:10] What was clean eating designed to mean?●   [30:50] Adjusting clean eating around allergens. ●   [36:35] What is C.R.A.P.?●   [40:13] How to look at and think about packaged ingredients.●   [41:24] Guiding principles to eating well for your body.●   [43:22] What is non-food eating? ●   [44:30] How do we manage to reduce sugar?KEY TAKEAWAYS:●   Everyone's definition of “clean eating” is different. It's ok that different people think about clean eating differently - it's what is “clean” for them. Get curious about what other people mean by clean eating. ●   Clean eating is finding the balance of things that make us feel our best and a diet that can be sustained. Be willing to eat at restaurants and be flexible, make sure that we aren't so focused on a way of eating that it becomes unhealthy and unsustainable. ●   The original premise of clean eating was about getting more foods on our plates that are wholesome, nutritious, and closer to the source (minimally processed)—eating the rainbow, adding more veggies, etc. QUOTES: "Something might be labeled clean but that doesn't inherently mean it's healthful.” -  Jenn Trepeck“My approach with clients is to figure out a plan where the tracks won't break in 30 days.” - Jenn Trepeck“If the tracks broke and we feel like we failed, it's not us, it's the track. This plan is what didn't allow for life, and therefore it's not the plan for life.” - Jenn Trepeck“I think a big piece of clean eating that is still different for each person is minimizing the allergens.” - Jenn TrepeckWe don't want perfection and purity to be the enemy of good and improvement." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramJenn's Capsaicin Supplement for US ListenersJenn's Capsaicin Supplement for Global Listeners

Nothing “good” or “bad”, just stuff to be aware of

Sara Stevano (University of the West of England) and Lotta Takala-Greenish (University of the West of England and University of Johannesburg) Diets are changing globally, as agricultural and food systems have become globalised and created new forms of food production, distribution, and trade. The nutritional implications are seen in rising obesity and non-communicable diseases alongside, particularly in the Global South, the persistence of food insecurity and undernutrition. However, the study of food and diet quality has not been well integrated within the functioning of agricultural and food regimes. Apart from a thin body of literature in the field of global public health and critical nutrition study, detailed explorations of the links between the quality of food, diet and health outcomes with the systems of food provisioning are lacking. This panel draws together studies that shed light on how the organisation of food production, distribution and trade shapes food quality and health narratives. This episode features Panel 1 of the Workshop on ‘Political Economy Approaches to Food Regimes.’ This one-day workshop, was organised by the SOAS University of London Food, Nutrition and Health in Development Research Custer and brought together topics in contemporary food regime studies examined from a political economy perspective. Topics included inequality and food security, the state and food sovereignty, food regimes and the politics of conflict and financialisation of food. Paper One: ‘Concentration of power in production: the missing link in developing soy agro-processing’ by Dr Lotta Takala-Greenish (University of the West of England, UK, and University of Johannesburg, South Africa) Paper two: ‘Food (Ine)Quality: Consumption of Packaged Foods and Nutrition Narratives’ by Dr Sara Stevano (University of the West of England, UK) Organiser: SOAS University of London Food, Nutrition and Health in Development Research Custer Event Date: 19 January 2018 Released by: SOAS Economics Podcast

Take a look in your pantry today. How much packaged and processed food are you buying each time you go to the store? Better yet, how much are you consuming on a daily basis? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.

Next time you are at the store, try to avoid the boxed items and find fun ways to make fruits and veggies part of your diet. If you're a big dipper and you just can't avoid adding a little something to your veggies, forgo the dressings and opt for something a little healthier, like hummus. You can retrain your pallet.

More Americans than ever have been reading those FDA-mandated food labels before buying packaged foods. Yet they haven't been changed in decades. Now... there will be a change mandated for food labels in your grocery store as part of an effort to reduce obesity across the United States. FOX's Alex Hein reports: This is Housecall for Health. Nutrition facts labels on food packages will be getting a long-awaited makeover with calories listed in bigger, bolder type and a new line for added sugars. Serving sizes will also be updated to make them more realistic so a small bag of chips doesn't count as two or three servings. The changes were first proposed two years ago by the Food and Drug Administration and are the first major update of the labels since they were created in 1994. While fat was the focus when the labels were created, there's now more concern about how many calories people eat. The calorie listing will now be larger than the rest of the type making it had to overlook. Serving sizes will be easier to see and it will be easier to figure out how many servings are in a container. The food industry has two years to comply, and while some companies have fought the new line for added sugar, others have supported it. For more on this story, check FOXNewsHealth.com.

Sobey's Grocery Stores have released pre-packaged peeled avocados for customer's convenience. Although many are attacking the grocery chain on social media calling the product wasteful. Calgary Today's Angela Kokott talks to Sylvain Charlebois of the University of Guelph's Food Institute and he says this may be the future of fresh food. -calgarytoday

The current move away from artificial colours and towards natural ones in packaged food is due to a trend in clean labeling, where consumers scrutinize ingredients, shunning products with ingredients that they are unfamiliar with or that are artificial. This trend has caused many packaged food manufacturers to rethink their ingredients, especially the use of natural colours. As more and more companies make the switch, larger, more established packaged food companies are under intense pressure to switch from artificial to natural colours. Mars, for instance, recently made an announcement that it would remove all artificial colours from their global product range, nearly a year after statements from Nestle and Hershey.

Packaged Foods Exposed V Deconstructing Dinner revisits with our popular series - Packaged Foods Exposed. Launched in 2006, the series examines the largest manufacturers of processed foods in the country and takes an often overlooked and critical perspective of these powerful companies. When Deconstructing Dinner last aired this series, we featured a two-part exposé of Unilever. With three years having now transpired since those episodes, it appears that the company is in much need of some more deconstructing! Needing particular attention are Unilever's questionable marketing strategies. Following our research that has gone into this episode, four complaints were filed with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Deconstructing Dinner now awaits their response. Unequal Harvest Deconstructing Dinner visits with the excellent theatrical performance, Unequal Harvest - a series of monologues written by Winnipeg's Geoff Hughes. Unequal Harvest examines some of the root causes of hunger and food injustice taking place around the world. Guests Nicole Shaw, publisher/editor Synergy Magazine (Lantzville, BC) - Nicole Shaw launched Synergy Magazine in March of 2004 after receiving much encouragement and support from members of the community.

Kami Desilets & Brent Hirose, actors Unequal Harvest (Winnipeg, MB) - Winnipeg playwright Geoff Hughes has brought food injustice to the stage. In 2008, three non-profit organizations; The Canadian Foodgrains Bank, the Manitoba Food Charter and Winnipeg Harvest resolved to draw attention to the Global Food Crisis by commissioning Geoff to write and direct the original work Unequal Harvest. Debuting in Winnipeg on World Food Day in 2008, the play continues to be performed across Canada including its latest stop at the 2010 Victoria Fringe Festival.

The Packaged Foods Exposed series takes a look at the largest food manufacturers in the world. What products fall under their banners; how has their influence shaped economic policy, society and culture; how have they affected the environments they operate in; and what relationships do they foster within the countries they are located? This series places corporations in a critical light, hoping to provide a more balanced image to the advertising and PR campaigns launched by some of the most influential food corporations on the planet. In this fourth episode of the Packaged Foods Exposed series, we take a look at one of the largest consumer products companies in the world - Unilever. With such a significant influence on agriculture, food and health here in Canada and abroad, this focus on the company will be spread out over a two-part series. Part II On Part II of the Unilever series we will explore the historical and current health impacts of margarine, and how Unilever has responded to such health concerns. Unilever has both historically and recently had a heavy influence on life in the oceans. Such an influence extended up until their most recent impact on the depletion of cod stocks in the Baltic Sea - stocks that are on the brink of collapse. Unilever also controls roughly 25% of the Canadian ice cream market, and this broadcast will look into some similar tactics the company has used in the world of margarine that are quietly being applied to many of the company's ice cream products. The question is raised - are Unilever's ice creams really ice cream? We will learn of a misleading web site the company maintains that seemingly violates Canadian laws, and we will learn of a controversial ingredient entering into Unilever's ice cream products around the world, an ingredient that replicates the DNA found in a fish, and one that is created through genetic modification! Guests Oliver Knowles - Oceans Campaigner, Greenpeace (London, UK) - The over-exploitation and mismanagement of fisheries has already led to some spectacular fisheries collapses. The cod fishery off Newfoundland, Canada collapsed in 1992, leading to the loss of some 40,000 jobs in the industry. The cod stocks in the North Sea and Baltic Sea are now heading the same way and are close to complete collapse. Greenpeace has been at the forefront of addressing this serious concern. Geoff Ross-Smith - Owner, Kootenay Kreamery (Nelson, BC) - Geoff began selling Unilever's Breyers ice cream at a stand in Ainsworth, BC until the quality of the product decline rapidly. Geoff chose to then launch a small independent ice cream company - now selling his products to 10 stores in the area. Therese Beaulieu - Assistant Director, Communication and Policy, Dairy Farmers of Canada (Ottawa, ON) - A national policy, lobbying and promotional organization representing Canada’s 16,000 dairy farms. DFC strives to create favourable conditions for the Canadian dairy industry, today and in the future. It works to maintain policies that foster the viability of Canadian dairy producers and promote dairy products and their health benefits. Joe Cummins - Professor Emeritus of Genetics, University of Western Ontario (London, ON) - Joe is one of the earliest critics of genetic engineering. He obtained BS Horticulture, Washington State University 1955 and PhD Cellular Biology, University of Wisconsin 1962. Taught genetics at Rutgers and the University of Washington, Seattle before joining the University of Western Ontario in 1972. Joe sits on the board of the UK-based Independent Science Panel and is involved with The Institute of Science in Society.

In this fourth episode of the Packaged Foods Exposed series, we take a look at one of the largest consumer products companies in the world - Unilever. With such a significant influence on agriculture, food and health here in Canada and around the world, this focus on the company will be spread out over a two-part series. Part I On Part I of the Unilever series, we explore one product that the company maintains considerable control over in Canada - margarine, in particular their Becel, Imperial, Blue Bonnet and I Can't Believe it's not Butter brands. Margarine may very well, by the end of the year, spark the first ever interprovincial retaliatory trade war since the Agreement on Internal Trade was first signed by the provinces in 1994. How could a tub of margarine be so powerful you may ask? The province of Quebec is the last place in the world that maintains a margarine colouration ban, that is a ban that prohibits margarine to be coloured yellow like butter. Such a ban infuriates a company like Unilever who now must produce two different products, one for Quebec and one for the rest of Canada. But margarine isn't new to conflict in Canada and the United States. In fact the history of margarine is probably one of the most fascinating windows into the evolution of our food system over the past 100 years... "The evolution of this problem is closely related to historical shifts from agriculture to industrial order" - Richard Ball / Robert Lilly "[Margarine is] another sign of the artificiality of modern life." - Mark Twain With such significant statements, margarine does indeed seem like a product worth deconstructing given how accepted margarine has become as part of the Canadian diet. Also on the broadcast will be an update on our complaint filed with Advertising Standards Canada following the April 12, 2007 broadcast on Kraft Foods. Guests Sean McPhee - President, Vegetable Oil Industry of Canada (VOIC) (Toronto, ON) - An industry group representing 75,000 oilseed growers across Canada, oilseed processors and suppliers of fats and oils to the food industry, and makers of oilseed-based food products, such as margarine, cooking oil, salad dressing, mayonnaise and dessert toppings. Members include the Canadian Canola Growers Association, the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association, Archer Daniel Midland Agri-Industries Ltd., Bunge Canada, Canbra Foods, Cargill Limited, AarhusKarlshamn US and Canada, Loders Croklaan, Unilever Canada and Rich Products Corporation. Therese Beaulieu - Assistant Director, Communication and Policy, Dairy Farmers of Canada (Ottawa, ON) - A national policy, lobbying and promotional organization representing Canada’s 16,000 dairy farms. DFC strives to create favourable conditions for the Canadian dairy industry, today and in the future. It works to maintain policies that foster the viability of Canadian dairy producers and promote dairy products and their health benefits. Audio Clips "Housewives Save With Margarine" - CBC News Roundup (1948) - Broadcast on December 14, 1948 shortly following the legalization of margarine in Canada. Host: Bill Reid. Reporters: Warren Baldwin, Dave Price. Interviewer: Bill Beatty. Guest: Erle Kitchen.

The Packaged Foods Exposed series takes a look at the largest food manufacturers in the world. What products fall under their banners; how has their influence shaped economic policy, society and culture; how have they affected the environments they operate in; and what relationships do they foster within the countries they are located? This series places corporations in a critical light, hoping to provide a more balanced image to the advertising and PR campaigns launched by some of the most influential food corporations on the planet. In this third episode of the Packaged Foods Exposed series, we take a look at the second largest food manufacturer in the world, and the largest in North America - Kraft Foods. The first half of the broadcast will look at the company's previous ownership by tobacco giant Altria/Philip Morris, and fast track to today, because since March 30, 2007, Kraft is now an independent company. Many eaters around the world are still unaware that between 1988 and 2007, support for Kraft products was support for the tobacco industry. Within the second half of the show, Kraft's marketing strategies will be placed under a critical light following our discovery of an advertisement that was rolling in lies. Other highly questionable marketing campaigns will also be explored. Guests Bryan Hirsch - Organizer, Corporate Accountability International (Boston, MA) - Formerly INFACT, Corporate Accountability International is a membership organization that protects people by waging campaigns that challenge irresponsible and dangerous corporate actions around the world. For 30 years, Corporate Accountability International and our members have scored major victories that protect people's lives by forcing corporations like Nestlé, General Electric and Philip Morris/Altria to stop abusive practices. Kraft Foods has long been boycotted by the organization, but since its recent spin off from Philip Morris, the boycott has now been dropped. Audio Clips Making a Killing (2001) - Corporate Accountability International / AndersonGold Films - A powerful organizing tool in the fight for social justice and tobacco control. This documentary exposes Philip Morris/Altria’s deadliest abuses. It reveals the burning truth about how the tobacco giant uses its political power, size and promotional expertise to spread tobacco addiction internationally, leaving in its wake a trail of death and destruction.

The second of an ongoing series that will take a look behind the world's largest packaged food and beverage producers. In the first episode, we took a look at global giant PepsiCo. The Packaged Foods Exposed series places corporations in a critical light, hoping to provide a more balanced image to the advertising and PR campaigns launched by some of the most influential food corporations on the planet. In this second episode of the Packaged Foods Exposed series, we take a look at the largest food manufacturer in the world - Nestlé. What products fall under their banner; how has their influence  shaped economic policy, society and culture; how have they affected the environments they operate in; and what relationships do they foster within the countries they are located? Guests Karl Flecker - Education Coordinator / Director of the Water Program, Polaris Institute - Polaris is designed to enable citizen movements to re-skill and re-tool themselves to fight for democratic social change in an age of corporate driven globalization. Essentially, the Institute works with citizen movements in developing the kinds of strategies and tactics required to unmask and challenge the corporate power that is the driving force behind governments concerning public policy making on economic, social and environmental issues.

What products fall under their banner, and how has their influence shaped economic policy, society and culture; how have they affected the environments they operate in; and what relationships do they foster within the countries they are located? Part I - Pepsico New York-based PepsiCo, is far more than just Coca-Cola's main competitor, and based on revenues, sits at about the 4th largest food and beverage producer in the world. Guests Richard Girard, Researcher, Polaris Institute - Polaris is designed to enable citizen movements to re-skill and re-tool themselves to fight for democratic social change in an age of corporate driven globalization. Essentially, the Institute works with citizen movements in developing the kinds of strategies and tactics required to unmask and challenge the corporate power that is the driving force behind governments concerning public policy making on economic, social and environmental issues.
