Host Monica and guest host Ned Renzi are joined by Vani Hari, better known as “the Food Babe,” for an eye-opening conversation about America’s food system. With over 10,000 chemicals approved for use in the U.S.—compared to just 2,000 in Europe—Hari has made it her mission to expose what’s really in our food. Dubbed by The New York Times as “public enemy number one of big food companies,” she shares how her personal health crisis transformed her into an activist who has changed the food industry.

Vani’s journey started in childhood, growing up in an Indian immigrant family that embraced American culture through fast food and processed snacks. By her early 20s, she was struggling with eczema, asthma, allergies, and endometriosis, constantly exhausted and feeling like she was in a fog. After an emergency appendectomy became her wake-up call, she started looking into the ingredients in her food—applying the same determination that once made her a top high school debater. What she found shocked her, and she knew she had to share it.

What started as a personal blog quickly turned into a movement, with Vani challenging some of the biggest food brands—like Subway, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks—to clean up their ingredients. Her campaign against azodicarbonamide, a chemical used in Subway’s bread (and also found in yoga mats), led to major industry changes. But not everyone was thrilled—some companies fought back, trying to dismiss her as a fearmonger.

Today, Vani is focused on solutions. Her company, Truvani, creates clean protein powders and bars made without artificial sweeteners, gums, or unnecessary additives. Now available at Whole Foods and Walmart, these products reflect her belief that eating real food doesn’t have to be complicated.
