Why this class
In order to have a healthy and nutritious diet, the best rule of thumb is to keep your food simple, whole, unprocessed, in its natural state.
Most of us lead a life-style in which cooking from scratch every single meal with products that come straight from the Earth is virtually impossible.
Many of our foods these days come in packages, to make our life simple, but the wordings in these food’s packages aren’t always straight forward and can be very misleading for consumers, plus not many of us are taking the time to read the back labels, enchanted by big brand’s advertising, or by some product's claims at the front of the package.
This class aim is to help you navigate the food packaging’s world with more clarity, and to give you an understanding of the meaning behind the names listed, so that you can discern which foods are cleaner than others and ultimately make healthier choices.
Knowledge is power.
Reading the labels in products is your Superpower!
You as a consumer are the one who leads the market's trends by choosing which products to invest on, so ultimately, you are also the one who decides for your own health!
