Say goodbye to the food police and hello to peace. Welcome to the Love Food podcast hosted by

Dietitian and food behavior expert Julie Duffy Dillon. This authentically engineered series is in

location, which is in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. It is so cute and quaint. I'm also really

Love Food podcast, I want to fill in for you how we set up the show. So we have letters that are
