027: Eating Trends - Deciphering Paleo, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and Plant-Based Eating

There are so many terms floating around in the world of food nowadays - paleo, vegan, vegetarian, plant-based - what the heck do they all mean?  In this episode, we try to provide some clarity on several terms inside the food and diet community.   As a teacher, I often get education companies emailing me about their products and one that caught my eye was a vocabulary company.  They asked what appeared like a simple multiple choice question, but had replaced some of the words in the question and answer section with new made-up words.  It did a great job of highlighting the importance of fundamental vocabulary knowledge before comprehension. When trying to improve our health, we can get trapped in the confusing world of diet and exercise vocabulary.  Without an understanding of what the words mean and what the options are, how can one make an informed decision?   We are not here as nutritionists or trying to push one method of eating over another. Today, we come to you as informed consumers trying to help make more informed consumers.  The goal of this show, and most lessons in life, is not to provide absolute answers, but to give clear information and allow you to decide how to best use that for yourself.
