Belief-Based Research: The Power of Shared Values

Public trust has shifted. Once, experts like scientists were the go-to voices for credible information, earning trust through their ability to solve major societal challenges. Today, “someone like me” is considered just as trustworthy, while social media influencers and opinion-driven podcasts often reach larger audiences than traditional news outlets. Consumers are now “choosing their own adventure” when deciding what information about food and nutrition they believe.

In this episode, we explore groundbreaking findings from The Center for Food Integrity’s research study, The Evolution of Truth. By uncovering the core values, beliefs, and fears shaping consumer behavior around food, this research offers powerful insights to help listeners navigate a polarized world where truth is increasingly defined by perception rather than science.
