This week Let's Get Real takes on the convenience of food, such as the redesign of the new ketchup packets for drive-thrus, and how that has resulted in the rise of 'foodiness'. No longer having to forage, hunt, process, cook, smoke, etc. our own food has lead to our increased reliance on unhealthy "convenience food" argues Erica, but there are simple and easy ways to make the move to healthier options and there's no need to do it cold turkey. So tune in to Let's Get Real to find out how you can start making real, informed decision about what you eat. This episode is sponsored Wholefoods Market .
