The Food Pyramid Was Designed Backwards On Purpose
Dr. Pompa sits down with food activist and nutritionist Courtney Swan (Real Foodology) to expose how the American food industry has been deceiving you for decades. From the grocery store tricks that fool even health-conscious shoppers to the corrupt origins of the food pyramid, they break down exactly what to watch for on food labels, which "healthy" products are secretly terrible for you, and what's actually changing right now with MAHA, food dye bans, baby formula regulations, and more. If you eat food, this conversation will change how you shop forever.
