What Does It Mean to "Eat Clean", Anyway...

Today we’re sitting down with Erin from @foodsciencebabe on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Many of you struggle with food rules centered on the idea of “clean eating”. You want to do the best for your health by choosing high quality foods, but is that really necessary for your best mental, emotional, and financial health? As a food scientist and food industry expert, Erin talks to us about:

• What inspired her to speak up about food safety misinformation on her page
• Why people seem to be obsessed with “Eating clean” –  plus she shares her own personal journey letting go of biased beliefs about food
• What kinds of strategies influencers on social media use to “fear-monger” around food
• How you can be a critical consumer of science information to protect yourself from unnecessary “clean eating” food guilt

Dm us on Instagram after this episode to let us know your thoughts. What did this inspire you to do differently in your food freedom work?
