Why I almost stopped being a food activist

When I became a mom, I almost stopped being an activist.

For years I used my voice to expose how Big Food manipulates us.

And before I knew it, I became the target of a national smear campaign.

They called me a quack, a fearmonger, and a pseudoscientist. And they threatened me.

All I wanted was to show people how to live a healthier life, but there I was. Getting death threats.

I didn't know whether it would be safe for me and my family to continue the way I was, and I took a back seat for a while.

Then something unexpected happened and it got me back in the game. 

I recently shared the story on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast.

Thankfully, public opinion has shifted since the early days of Food Babe…

It's no longer considered crazy to question the ingredients in your food.

It's no longer considered pseudoscience to ban chemicals from our food that aren't allowed in other countries.

It's no longer considered fearmongering to call out billion dollar chemical industries who are poisoning our families.

We have entered this new age and I'm ALL IN.

Are you too? 

I'm so grateful to have YOU by my side. I could never continue this work without you.

You can watch my full interview on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast on YouTube, or listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
