Have you ever wondered why almost every single packaged food contains industrial seed oils, anti-caking agents, preservatives, petrochemical flavorings and other non-foods?

And why do so many growing companies that started as a healthier real food alternative ultimately sell their souls to Big Food? 

We're back this week with our dear friend, Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, actor, stand-up comedian, podcaster and founder of eat Happy Kitchen, a natural food company. She's here to show you how the food we buy in the grocery store actually gets made, and it's not always pretty. 

In this episode with Anna, you're about to hear: 
  • Why nearly all of the products you find in the grocery store—everything from sauces, spices and dressings to cookies and cereals—contain sketchy non-food ingredients
  • How to muster up the courage to start your own business without losing your mind or your pants
  • How to achieve longevity in the world of podcasting and media, from a couple of OGs
  • An optimistic vision for the future of human creativity in the age of AI
  • And much more…
