Running the Asylum

• After sharing thoughts about caffeine & Vinnie’s new neighbor, they discuss getting daily steps in. (3:00)
• They were sent an infographic poster from “CardioSmart.” (12:00)
  • It describes how much sugar people ate 100 years ago vs now—from 2 lbs per year to over 150 lbs per year, which is 3 lbs. weekly!
  • Anna describes other items on the poster.
  • The poster is a general infographic about sugar, but it also tells approximately how much sugar you “should” have.
  • The amount suggested is low, but approximately what is found in a can of soda.
  • The poster is sponsored in part by Coca-Cola.
  • So the underlying message appears to be, that you can lower sugar, but still have room for soda.
  • It’s not unlike Barilla Pasta sponsoring a study that says pasta is good for you.
  • It appears that the inmates are running the asylum.
• You can let food companies know you disapprove of their products simply by not buying them. Choose with your wallet.

• They explain what it is. (29:00)
• They talk about premade cookies you can buy at grocery store bakeries. (33:00)
• Anna shares her Expo West experience while running her Eat Happy Kitchen booth. (35:15)
  • She’s been presenting to all kinds of buyers and investors who are very interested.
• There was a “beanless coffee” product she tried; as a result, Vinnie explains what “Postum” is. (41:00)
• It is a real challenge to be able to package good food and have it be shelf-stable. (47:00)
  • Even healthy options she found still had sugars.
• She had some amazing interactions overall and is looking forward to what comes of it.
