In this episode, we explore how the busy structure of American life makes healthy eating an exhausting challenge. Even with the best intentions, deciphering food labels and researching safe ingredients feels like an extra job on top of work, family, and self-care. Unlike countries such as France, Sweden, and Norway, where strict regulations ban many harmful additives and simplify food choices, the U.S. allows ingredients that are linked to health concerns. This highlights the need for systemic change, pushing for clearer food labeling and better regulations that prioritize well-being. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to strive for progress, not perfection, while advocating for a healthier, more supportive food system.
