Summary

Ever heard of the “health halo”? This week, we break down the idea that a food is healthy just because a single claim of healthfulness can be made about it. Are those cookies healthy because they’re made with organic sweet potato? Maybe — but maybe not. It depends on a lot more than the sweet potato. Dietician Katie Morford of Mom’s Kitchen Handbook helps us think through issues like how to quickly read food packages, determine if pricey supplements are worth it, and figure out if hiding veggies and other nutrient-dense foods are valuable as we try to figure out which foods live up to the labels they’re given. Not to determine if they’re “good” or “bad,” but to figure out their rightful place in our families’ diets — and in our grocery budgets too!

0:30.7	And this is the first year that I didn't make resolutions.
0:33.7	How's that?
0:35.7	For you.
0:36.5	Well, that's very simple.
0:37.4	That means we get closer to diving in. Did you? Well, that's very simple.
0:40.1	That means we get closer to diving in.
0:41.1	Did you?
0:42.3	I didn't.
0:47.8	I pretty much never make resolutions, which I think comes across as me like being a resolution hater.
0:52.3	It's more that I'm just like, I feel like I'm constantly working on self-improvement. So it's silly to try and make a specific resolution just because it's like the new year.
0:57.0	But I wanted to talk about one of my goals last year was that I was sort of like disassociating myself from diet culture, which is a very like painful and difficult thing that we'll talk about a little later in the season
