1371. The TRUTH About "Natural" Foods + What's REALLY Hiding in Your Thanksgiving Food w/ Food Babe Vani Hari

Hey Heal Squad! Thanksgiving is almost here, and we're getting you READY! Our friend Vani Hari, aka the Food Babe, is BACK, and OMG…some of your favorite holiday staples may never look the same. Trust, we're not here to scare you, but just give you a closer look at what's REALLY in our food. Vani is getting into marshmallows, boxed stuffing, even canned soup and revealing the surprising ingredients hiding in our Thanksgiving favorites and why food companies are cashing in on our childhood nostalgia at the grocery store. But don't worry, we're NOT ruining Thanksgiving! We're sharing easy swaps, smarter shopping hacks, and ways to enjoy the foods we love without all the unnecessary additives. AND for the FIRST TIME EVER, we're heading into Maria's kitchen! Vani is showing us how to make TWO delicious holiday recipes from her new cookbook, Food Babe Feast! Let's get cooking!

HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

• The “Holiday Death Aisle” Is Taking Over: What used to be an occasional holiday indulgence has become a year-round cycle of ultra-processed foods. Vani explains how food companies capitalize on every occasion to keep us buying more.
• The Truth About “Natural” Labels: Just because a product says “natural” doesn't mean it's necessarily healthy! Vani reveals how misleading food labels can be, what “natural flavors” may actually contain, and why reading the ingredient list matters more than trusting the front of the package.
• Are Foods Engineered to Make Us Overeat? Vani explains how food manufacturers design textures and flavors to encourage us to eat more. From ultra-soft breads to foods that practically melt in your mouth, she explores how these products may make it easier to overeat before our bodies signal that we're full.
