Much of what we think is food is actually many ingredients disguised as food, with entirely different, often negative impacts on the human body. Sadly, this is a greater problem here in the US than in other parts of the world, thanks to the food industry, corrupt intentions, and broken policies. Today, I talk about all this and more with my guest Jason Karp, whose personal experience of nearly going blind due to a toxic lifestyle led him to discover a different way; he made it his mission to get \u201cback to human.\u201d\nIn this episode, we discuss:\n\nJason\u2019s personal health journey and why that has prompted him to take on the campaign against Kellogg\u2019s (7:53)\n\nThe unhealthy state of America\u2019s food industry (22:42)\n\nHow Kellogg\u2019s has one cereal formulation for Canada and another for the US that is full of chemicals (26:07)\n\nThe correlation between food dyes and ADHD, and the failure of Kellogg's pledge (29:04)\n\nThe political aspect of food regulation and dangers of unregulated food additives (32:55)\n\nWhy we are in a state of metacrisis and what that means for our future (37:18)\n\nThe bidirectional relationship between food and mental health (46:04)\n\nThe financial burden of healthcare on the US government due to unhealthy diets (53:52)\n\nSupporting the Kellogg's Initiative: Sign the Petition (1:06:03)\n\n\n\nWe have a lot to do to shift our food system and eliminate harmful ingredients in the US, but there are ways to enact positive change starting today. We can all support a cleaner food industry and better health by voting with our dollar, purchasing real food, and getting involved in policy policy changes.
