Can you imagine how food shopping would be if you knew every brand on the shelf had been developed under the direction of a consumer advocate? What would it be like to have food companies creating educational videos about their ingredients and labeling instead of creating commercials designed to entertain and distract you? On today's episode, my business partner and one of my best friends, Meghan Nardone joins me to discuss why food costs so much, what goes into developing products for the consumer, how our brand, Savage Snacks, has been created based on consumer advocacy and transparency and a whole lot more. This conversation has something for everyone. If you eat food, buy food, or make food, you will want to listen! If you have a business, are in a start-up phase or are looking for motivation to create change in your own sphere of influence, you will want to listen!

There is a saying, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you”, but after this recent product development and lengthy research into synthetic fragrances, I would beg to differ. These seemingly innocent chemicals are in the bulk of consumer products and they are wrecking havoc in some exceptionally significant ways right under our nose! If you have concerns with allergies, sensitivities, migraines, weight gain (seemingly for no reason) hormone imbalance, depression, anxiety, low testosterone and fatigue. DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE! I do believe there is a solid amount of info on the dangers of synthetic fragrances out there but there is a lot more than what has been talked about. Some of what I discovered about this ingredient is just recently begun to be studied and quite a lot seems to be still slipping through the cracks. What we don't know IS hurting us.
