About the presentation:

Health Food vs Healthy Food: How Can You Tell The Difference?

In the last 30 years we have seem more "health foods" and "products" come out promoting their health benefits than ever before. And huge health food stores selling these products everywhere.  Yet during the same period, Americans have become the fattest nation on earth.  Are health foods really healthy?  In this eye-opening and entertaining talk, you will learn how this happened and find out the truth behind the marketing of "health" foods.  And you will learn some very simple and easy guidelines to help you quickly tell the difference between and find the real health foods that you should be eating.

Look forward to seeing you there!
