    Ep. 35- The Lucky Charms "Food Pyramid" Explained

    Last week, Joe Rogan (a comedian) shared an Instagram post that enraged millions. I'm angry about it for a whole different reason. Today's episode dives into the science behind the viral "lucky charms food pyramid." I'm angry because what Joe shared was only partially true. It was missing a key piece of context. It invoked food fear over something that's not used in practice (and may never be.) I'm angry because nutrition professionals can't keep up with celebrities trying to gain popularity and sell meal plans or cook books or supplements. So let's talk about where that "food pyramid" came from, and what's really going on behind the scenes. Buckle up for this one, friend! PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE!
