The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world as we know it leaving a large impact on our food system and our buying habits.  In today’s conversation, Roxi Beck with the Center for Food Integrity dives into the psychology behind it all. And yes to put it in simple terms – we are still in “survival mode.”  When will this end? She shares her thoughts.
Beck talks Mom-to-Mom with host, Amy Pflugshaupt on how buyers habits shifted from “let’s buy those items that ‘do the right thing’” – like fair trade, ethically sourced, or farm raised – to a NEW focus of importance.  She also explains the “kinks” in the supply chain and why there isn't a simple fix. PLUS, Beck shares the secret of where to look on your food packaging to get the “real facts” about the product. Here’s a hint – it’s not right out on the front like so many of us think!  All you need is 20 minutes to feel informed! 

Beck was also featured in Ep. 27 - “Excuse me? My broccoli has hormones, and my pork doesn’t?” CLICK HERE to listen now.
