In another two-parter episode, we first discuss the French based app Yuka, which determines whether a food is "excellent", "good", "poor" or "bad". These classifications are based on the same criteria as the European Nutriscore classification system. We discuss what we think of this government backed program, and whether we recommend this classification app. Second, we discuss the MLM Thrive by Le-vel, which sells (this isn't a joke) health stickers. Take a listen to what we have to think about the product line of this company.
