[libsyn_podcast id=30504848] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Running the Asylum After sharing thoughts about caffeine & Vinnie’s new neighbor, they discuss getting daily steps in. (3:00) They were sent an infographic poster from “CardioSmart.” (12:00) It describes how much sugar people ate 100 years ago vs now—from 2 lbs per year to over 150 lbs per year, which is 3 lbs. weekly! Anna describes other items on the poster. The poster is a general infographic about sugar, but it also tells approximately how much sugar you “should” have. The amount suggested is low, but approximately what is found in a can of soda. The poster is sponsored in part by Coca-Cola. So the underlying message appears to be, that you can lower sugar, but still have room for soda. It’s not unlike Barilla Pasta sponsoring a study that says pasta is good for you. It appears that the inmates are running the asylum. You can let food companies know you disapprove of their products simply by not buying them. Choose with your wallet. The ExpoWest Experience They explain what it is. (29:00) They talk about premade cookies you can buy at grocery store bakeries. (33:00) Anna shares her Expo West experience while running her Eat Happy Kitchen booth. (35:15) She’s been presenting to all kinds of buyers and investors who are very interested. There was a “beanless coffee” product she tried; as a result, Vinnie explains what “Postum” is. (41:00) It is a real challenge to be able to package good food and have it be shelf-stable. (47:00) Even healthy options she found still had sugars. She had some amazing interactions overall and is looking forward to what comes of it. She knows she has amazing products and she received all kinds of positive feedback! Anna’s upcoming Eat Happy Italian book is on the way.
