Activist and #FoodBabeArmy General, Vani Hari, has a new book, and she can’t wait to tell you (and the whole world) about it. Are you ready to hear what she has to say?
The Food Babe Way: Break Free from the Hidden Toxins in Your Food and Lose Weight, Look Years Younger, and Get Healthy in Just 21 Days is already sparking heated debates all over the internet and blowing the minds of people previously in the dark about the hidden dangers lurking in their favorite box of cereal.
Her fans can’t stop singing her praises.
But her detractors are calling her out on her methods, accusing her of using pseudo-science, false propaganda, and scare tactics to grow her platform and make herself rich.
But Vani is no stranger to controversy, and she’s definitely not one to back down from a fight. Along with her legion of social media followers, she has gone up against food giants like Kraft, Subway, and cereal makers, Kellogg’s and General Mills, and has come out victorious.
But what do those victories mean?
What is her ultimate mission?
Is she making a difference or just a lot of noise?
Vani joined me via Skype from her home in North Carolina for an extended talk about those questions and a lot more. Watch, and don’t hold back with your own opinions – I want to see them in the comments!
ABOUT VANI: Vani Hari started FoodBabe.com in April 2011 to spread information about what is really in the American food supply. She teaches people how to make the right purchasing decisions at the grocery store, how to live an organic lifestyle, and how to travel healthfully around the world. The success in her writing and investigative work can be seen in the way food companies react to her uncanny ability to find and expose the truth.
Impassioned by knowing how food affects health, Vani loves sharing her message on the blogosphere to 3 million unique readers across the globe. Vani convinced the biggest fast food chain in the world, Subway, to remove a controversial ingredient after receiving 50,000 signatures in 24 hours on her petition to the chain. After receiving tremendous attention on her posts about Chick-Fil-A, she was invited by the company’s leadership to meet at its headquarters to consult on specific improvements to ingredients used by the national chain, which they later implemented. 7 months after Vani petitioned Kraft to remove harmful petroleum-based artificial food dyes from Mac & Cheese, Kraft responded by removing the dye from all products aimed at children.
Other major food companies that have responded to her writings include Panera Bread, Whole Foods, Lean Cuisine, McDonalds, General Mills, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Chipotle, Yoforia, and Moe’s South West Grill.
Vani’s activism brought national attention at the Democratic National Convention when she used her status as an elected delegate to protest in front of the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture on the issue of GMO labeling. Vani has been profiled in the New York Times, USA Today, Washington Times, Chicago Tribune, appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, The Doctors Show, NBC News, Fox News and is a regular cooking contributor on NBC’s Charlotte Today and food expert on CNN.
