Summary

Junk food. So delicious. So fun. So… controversial? We attempt to define junk food and, well, kinda fail. Because in the end, all food exists on a nutritional continuum and where you draw your line has to do with personal factors that cause us to land in all different places. So where does this conversation net out? We share where each of us lands, why we land there (including acknowledging our hypocrisies), and how we talk to our kids about junk food in hopes that exposing it all gives you food for thought — you know, the nourishing kind.

This week’s episode is made possible by MadeGood Foods and Cabot Cheese.

0:45.7	Between having to find school-safe snacks for lunchboxes, lower sugar snacks to avoid the dreaded
0:51.5	after-school sugar crash, and fortifying snacks to fuel after
0:55.3	school activities sure is hard to find products you can just grab and go anytime any day.
1:01.1	That's what makes our sponsor me so fantastic. Their products are free of the common
1:05.5	allergens made in a peanut and tree nut free facility, certified organic and non-GGMO and you didn't even mention the best part
