130: Food Bullying – Michele Payn

Sound Bites A Nutrition Podcast

Food has become a battleground where marketing claims and misinformation are used to bully and shame people about their food choices. What if you could stop stressing about what other people think and make eating decisions based on your own needs and preferences? This episode takes a closer look at the misrepresentation of food and sheds light on fictitious nutrition and environmental claims to help you recognize bullies and feel good about your food choices.

Armed with science, compelling stories, and a lifetime on the farm, author and speaker Michele Payn challenges the way you think about food and gives you permission to buy food based on your own social, ethical, environmental and health standards rather than on brand marketing, peer pressure, or social media influence. Her book Food Bullying provides a six-step action plan to overcome bullying around the plate, simplify safe food choices, and even save time at the grocery store.

Michele Payn connects the people and the science of food and farming, and brings clarity and common sense to the emotional food conversation.
