Rant Therapy - I’m So Over All Of The Food Recalls! Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.

What’s Brierley So Over this week? I’m So Over All Of The Food Recalls!!

Banned Food Additives in Europe: Why Does The U.S. Allow Them? Oct 19, 2023

Show notes

Earlier this month, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into effect what’s colloquially called the “Skittles ban.” It’s a ban on a handful of food additives with known negative health effects (and banned in the European Union), yet are still pervasive in our food system. What are the banned additives and should they be banned across the country? Here’s what you need to know and check for on food labels.

Is Tap Water Safe to Drink? Sep 28, 2023

Show notes

Are you worried about what’s in your tap water? It’s been our radar for some time, but it’s something we’ve never had time to dig into it. But a study that came out this summer made us realize we had to give it a deeper look. Approximately half of America’s tap water contains PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals” that can up your risk of cancer and disrupts hormones. There are other contaminants in our water, too, so what can you do at home to limit our exposure? What filters really work?
