🧾 Episode Summary:

In this candid and hilarious episode, Coffee and Cuddles dive into a surprisingly deep topic: food labels and making healthier choices—especially while living with dietary restrictions like diabetes and food sensitivities. What begins with a trip for lemonade turns into a full-blown exploration of stevia, fake sugars, and yogurt-marinated chicken thighs.

There’s coffee (as always), laughter (obviously), and real talk about reading ingredient lists, cutting sugar, grocery store dilemmas, and how to stay mindful of each other’s health needs in a relationship.

💬 Key Topics Covered:

Misadventures in choosing “healthy” drinks (Stevia = ick?)
Why fruit juice might not be better than soda
The overwhelming amount of ingredients in today’s foods
Making food choices when one partner has dietary restrictions
Switching from soda to water and coffee
How added sugar hides behind misleading names
Updates on Coffee’s new integrated healthcare team
Learning to say goodbye to Frankenfoods and hello to label literacy
Chicken thigh debates and the yogurt conundrum
Navigating takeout decisions as a couple without murdering each other
A gentle plea for listener feedback (with bribes!)

🍿 Quotes We Loved:

“You don’t need soda with your burger. Your body will hate you for a while—and then it won’t.”
“Why do we need Frankenfood? I don’t understand how we thought we were smarter than God.”
“I’ll eat the chicken thighs. If they kill me, the dog gets a feast.”
