Food, For real

Is food addiction even real?


Listen Later

If you have ever wondered why one person suffers from food addiction while another does not…. Listen up.


It’s not just the foods someone may think of as comforting. It’s also the cheap, easy, on-the-go type of foods that are also highly addictive. 


First you have sugar which has been researched to be more addictive than cocaine….. but did you also know that there are entire careers dedicated to creating the absolutely most addictive food additives and flavors on the planet?


Yep…. It all started with big tobacco and well, it just keeps going. 


In this episode learn how food got to be addicting, why your grandmother’s canned chicken soup and bread are not the same ones you are buying today and what you can do to put a stop to big food in your home.
