The Food Babe Vani Hari: Best-Selling Author and Creator of FoodBabe.com

April 09, 2015

I got to interview Vani Hari aka The Food Babe, and I was thrilled and honored to talk to this activist and author. Recently named one of TIME Magazine's 30 Most Influential People Online, Vani Hari is a food advocate and blogger. She has a massive online following and has successful convinced dozens of restaurants and food manufacturers to change the ingredients in their products. She fights against GMOs, transparent ingredient labels, and removing chemicals from our food. Her book, The Food Babe Way is a New York Times #1 Best Seller.

Since our interview, she was the subject of a scathing Gawker article about her and her blog. She has been vilified by many as a hack, fear-monger, charlatan, and worse.  She takes the criticism in stride, and is clearly having an impact in the food industry. Her critics call her anti-science, but she fights back in her own article and she is more popular than ever.

In this interview, we talk about her work with the food industry, how she manages to eat clean, and what's next for her.
