FLR 044: The Best Defense Is a Good Education

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:  none How do we defend ourselves against the unhealthy, ultra-processed foods filling the shelves of grocery stores, convenience stores, and big box stores, and populating the meals in fast food restaurants?  Education, education, and education!  We need to become informed.  The FLR podcast certainly helps, but there are other great resources out there.  In today’s episode, I review some of my favorite books that helped to educate me about the dangers of highly processed foods and the standard American diet.
