What if the way we think about food has been shaped by forces most of us have never considered? In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Sullivan Jr. and Ashley Leroux Sullivan, the founders of Jigsaw Health and creators of the documentary Breaking Big Food, to talk about how our modern food system evolved, why ultra processed foods became so prevalent, and what those changes may mean for our long-term health. 

We discuss the historical influence of major corporations, the economics behind food production, and why so many people are left feeling overwhelmed when they try to make healthier choices.

What you’ll learn:

• Why the story of Big Tobacco's entry into the food industry still matters today
• How "hyper-palatable" foods are designed to keep us coming back for more
• The hidden ingredients that can show up in foods you might assume are healthy
• Why reading ingredient labels may be one of the most valuable habits you can build
• The role government subsidies play in shaping the foods that fill grocery store shelves
• How small, realistic food swaps can have a meaningful impact over time
• Why supporting local farmers and businesses may be part of the solution
• How Patrick and Ashley hope to inspire healthier communities through Breaking Big Food and their own local initiatives

Tune in to hear their story, learn more about Breaking Big Food, and explore what you can do to make more informed decisions for yourself and your family.
