Take Back Your Health From Ultra-Processed Food Companies

Ultra-processed food companies are out to get your health. Why? Because their profits depend on your addiction to their products.

In this two-part series on "why big food loves the death of the homemaker," I am discussing the rise in the production and valuation of big food that has directly correlated with the decline in homemaking and home cooking. This is a trend that has been happening for well over 50 years now, but has been spiking in recent decades. Ultimately we have fallen away from God's design and been ensnared by the addictive flavors of ultra-processed food, which has taken a serious toll on the health of America.

But it's not all dismal news. In this episode, I also discuss how you can take back your health (and the health of your family) from big food. As we step back into our kitchens and empower ourselves to cook whole, nourishing foods, we open up a world of better health that many of us Americans have never experienced before.
