“We are trained to think that if something is going to cost us more, there must be more value in it.”
Fear-mongering is one of the reasons why our food costs have gone up. Misleading food labels have swayed the market and have driven up food prices, points out anti-hunger advocate Diane in this podcast episode.
The ingredients of food are likely more well-known than the real stories of how food is grown. The stories of people who care for animals in the middle of the night, the stories of a little girl who stands in her father’s shadow hoping to someday take over decisions for land her great-grandpa once farmed, the stories of families who risk millions of dollars to produce food for a society who often questions them. I would ask that you consider the authentic stories of how your food is raised as a fundamental part of creating your own food story.
“All of us can manufacture enough guilt in the course of any given day. It certainly doesn’t have to be derived from the foods that we’re eating.” RDN Leslie Bonci brings a reasonable look at nutrition & food labels, plus how athletes can eat for a competitive advantage.
