This episode of Millennial Mother features nutritionist, dietitian, author, and host of the Fast Food Healing podcast - Sarah Bingham. She talks about how her journey to nutrition and healing through food began in the 1970s after her doctor recommended eliminating white flour and sugar, inspiring her to earn a Master's degree in Food Science and Nutrition. She touches on how fast food tends to be the easy way out for busy parents trying to put a meal on the table, but are being misled by labels on foods and affected by addictive food additives. She urges parents to make healthy food choices a priority and mentions how crappy food is cheaper, but not in the long run when considering days missed at work, co-pays, etc. when dealing with a sickness that could be prevented by a healthier diet. She also mentions seeking out real food through community-supported agriculture, growing your own food at home, and co-op cooking/meal sharing with others in your community.
