Consumerism: Redefining Your Relationship with Food

In this episode of the award winning podcast "Change Your Relationship with Food," host Kyla Holley delves into the intersection of consumerism and our dietary habits. Kyla explores why we are constantly chasing after the latest products and how the concept of FOMO (fear of missing out) affects our choices.

The discussion extends to planned obsolescence in technology and how similar tactics are employed by food manufacturers to entice us with seemingly indispensable new offerings. Discover how simple foods are transformed into luxury items, complete with captivating stories and premium pricing, and reflect on the pressures of living up to elevated expectations in food experiences.

Kyla encourages listeners to become more mindful consumers, urging them to critically evaluate their purchasing decisions, understand the marketing narratives at play, and embrace authenticity in their personal food stories. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your relationship with food and resist the commercial influences shaping our diets.
