You Don’t Have to Be Wealthy to Eat Healthy - Here’s Why | Jason KarpDescription
257: Jason Karp is the CEO of Human Co, and, like me, eats, sleeps and breathes clean living. Jason’s company is behind Hu Chocolate, True Food Kitchen (one of my favorite restaurants), and Grove Collaborative, to name a few. He and I spoke together at the nutrition round table last fall in Washington D.C., and I am so excited for you to hear about the work he’s done to bring clean food to the masses and catch up with the rest of the world by banning synthetic food dyes.

→ The Hu Chocolate origin story
→ What it took to make True Food Kitchen 100% seed oil free
→ How Jason got states to ban synthetic food dyes (yay!)
