Somewhere along the way, food corporations became part of nearly every family celebration. From Valentine's Day candy to Christmas cookies, entire holidays are now wrapped in brightly colored packaging and ingredients most families wouldn't choose on their own.
Food activist and bestselling author Vani Hari, known as Food Babe, returns to the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to share why she's determined to reclaim our celebrations. With her new cookbook, Food Babe Feast, Vani makes the case that families can enjoy decadent desserts, beloved traditions, and unforgettable holiday meals without relying on heavily processed foods.
But this conversation goes deeper than ingredients. Vani shares the emotional story behind preserving her late mother-in-law's Christmas recipe, how she teaches her children to recognize misleading food marketing without shame or perfectionism, and why years of fighting for food reform have convinced her that some of the most powerful changes begin around our own kitchen tables.
