There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible

to know what's real and what's BS.

2:07.3

But she has developed Johanna, which is basically an app that allows everyday families

2:14.6

to have a kind of personal assistant to take care of tasks and errands.

2:22.7

That, let's be honest, remember I did that episode a little while ago about I can't do all the
