Episode 235: Exposing Greenwashing & Nutrition Washing in Packaged Foods: What the Labels Aren’t Telling You with Dr Hayley Dickinson

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most eye-opening food conversations we’ve had yet with scientist, food integrity expert, and founder of Eat For You, Dr. Hayley Dickinson.

From misleading labels to outdated nutrition data, Dr. Hayley pulls back the curtain on how food marketing plays on our values especially when it comes to feeding our families. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can really trust what’s written on food packaging, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we explore:

✅ What greenwashing and nutrition washing actually mean and how they show up in food marketing.
✅ Why food labels often don’t reflect what’s really inside (including shocking nutrient discrepancies).
✅ What parents should know about common supermarket products like Brazil nuts, berries, and organic snacks.
✅ Simple, practical ways to reduce chemical exposure and choose better foods without blowing your budget

🎧 Tune in to learn how to become a more informed food shopper, why “healthy” packaging often isn’t, and how to focus your energy on what really matters when it comes to nourishing your family.
