New York Times best-selling author Vani Hari, “The Food Babe,” exposes the flagrant lies we’ve been fed about the food we eat—lies about its nutrient value, effects on our health, label information, and even the very science on which we make our food choices.

Feeding You Lies guides readers on how to eat foods that truly fill us with nutrients, while discussing the reasons why we continue to fail at becoming healthy, despite our best efforts. It also provides an easy-to-follow plan to help readers avoid this chemical onslaught—and get healthy in the process. Some of the topics covered include:

• How processing strips vital nutrients from our food

• Scandalous cover-ups by the sugar industry to deflect the deadly health risks of sugar, away from sugar to dietary fat

• Food marketing hoaxes such as gluten-free and fat-free

• Synthetic fortification of food to make products appear healthier than they really are

This blog is a celebration of ethical fashion and design, sewing, thoughtful consumption, and all things vintage. Without being too pedantic (I am a high school teacher, after all), I hope to empower the people out there who share my philosophy – namely, that looking good doesn’t have to come with such a high social and environmental price tag.

Our mission is the development, implementation, verification, protection and promotion of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).  This standard stipulates requirements throughout the supply chain for both ecology and labour conditions in textile and apparel manufacturing using organically produced raw materials. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides and fertilizers. In addition, organic production relies on adequate animal husbandry and excludes genetic modification.

We see ourselves as contributing to sustainable development and actively cooperate with all relevant stakeholders.
