Description
This audio summary takes a compassionate look at how modern processed foods became so common, and why they can be so difficult to resist. It traces a simple history—from the rise of television advertising and convenience meals to the widespread use of sugar, fat, and salt to keep foods tasty, shelf-stable, and highly craveable.
Along the way, it offers a supportive invitation to notice what’s in everyday products, to understand why certain foods pull so strongly on the brain and body, and to gently return—when possible—to simpler, fresher meals that better protect long-term health.
Who Should Listen
- Anyone who feels pulled toward sugary, salty, or highly processed foods and wants a clearer understanding of why.
- Listeners who want encouragement to choose more home-cooked, whole-food options without shame or perfectionism.
- People interested in how advertising and “convenience culture” shaped modern eating habits.
