Congratulations to Darling Drinks and the Just Indian Meals by Quicklly team for your exciting launch with Whole Foods Market stores across TX and FL! Thanks Samantha Fletcher and Rick Eplawy for giving this launch a chance and to Dirty Hands for executing best in class merchandising standards which Whole Foods Market still upholds 24/7/365. This is one of my favorite product launches ever to be involved in. Everyone who works in the natural foods industry in any capacity today is standing on the shoulders of giants. A great many of them worked Whole Foods, as culture warriors in the 80s and 90s to scale Natural and Organic into a nationally viable supply chain. I went to work at Whole Foods almost 25 years ago right out of college, because I wanted to make a difference in how people eat, and that is where the difference was being made. I learned a lot about a LOT of things during the 13+ years that I was there. …Most of all that disruptive innovation is about being an original and taking personal responsibility every day for making your cause better. If you want to change the world, don’t make a slightly better version of what already exists. Create the best version of yourself, and that person can do great things. The best is yet to come.

“There’s no real evidence that a pizza made at home is better than a frozen store-bought one with the same ingredients.” Faye Flam I know you meant well, but this kind of rhetoric needs to stop, if we want to help people to eat better and live healthier lives. Bloomberg I don’t know what kind of pizza you guys make at home, but I make mine by hand out of real food with great quality ingredients made by people I trust. I can factually prove that my Pizza Margherita is MUCH healthier than any frozen processed pizza since the nutrient density of all the individual ingredients is simply much higher. It does cost a little bit more than a processed frozen pizza, but it’s still cheaper than a “fast casual” restaurant. We need to help people understand that “Flour” isn’t Flour, “Cheese” isn’t Cheese, and “Sauce” isn’t Sauce. Heirloom wheats milled in small batches have higher nutrient density than Silos of bleached flour. Quality matters. If we de-commoditize our ingredients and actually try to help people learn instead of just complaining about how “complicated” it is, we can effect positive change, quickly. I’m happy to jump onto your Podcast to help more people Follow the Science on this and learn how to eat better so they can remove ultra processed food from their lives.
