Description

It’s time to take a closer look at fast food and the not-so-friendly surprises hiding in those quick and easy meals. We often think fast food is a harmless choice when we're in a hurry, but what if there's more to the story? 
Zen Honeycutt, a passionate advocate for food safety, is the driving force behind Moms Across America and the author of Unstoppable.
In this episode, she talks with Jen about her mission to spread the word about harmful chemicals and GMOs lurking in our daily meals. Zen discusses her recent fast food tests, exposing alarming toxin levels in popular brands, and stresses the urgency of switching to healthier, organic options. She also shares inspiring stories that prove the power of mindful food choices.
