Episode 2454 - On this Monday&#39;s show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss companies getting called out, leading by example, and more.  https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/getting-called-out-episode-2454 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS        YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE -  Reminiscing &amp; Producing on the Fly  The duo starts reminiscing about the early days of the podcast. (2:00) Anna started writing her first cookbook and learned to do her own photography.  They chat about the history of “producing on the fly.” They have switched to a different platform, and sound and video have improved. Vinnie has confirmed through a source that he is being shadow-banned.   There’s a question about the olive oil in a popular coffee chain beverage.  There is a UC Davis study that lists uncut olive oils. (14:30)  However, the study is several years old now; as a result, they are not sure how current the list of good olive oil brands is.   Anna recommends a deep dive into various brands; any reliable producer should be transparent about their process. Clive Prosumer espresso machine is Vinnie’s favorite. (Clive doesn&#39;t sponsor the show). (17:00)    Getting Called Out  General Mills has been called out in an article by Consumer Reports due to plastics in some of their foods. (20:00)  In &quot; addresses this topic.   Podcast guest Mike Keen’s (ep. 2375) research around Greenland reveals plastics were found in seal poop in one of the more pristine places on Earth. (21:00) Anna is disturbed by phthalates in some of General Mills’ foods—how does it get there? (23:00)  Phthalates make plastics more durable; however, they are considered a “forever chemical.&quot;  This means they do not leave the body.   They have been associated with heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, as well as causing hormonal dysregulation.   Big Food doesn’t care; they do what they can get away with until called out by consumer advocates. (26:00)  You end up ingesting micro-doses over time. From canned beverages to packaged foods to what containers you use—it all adds up.   It’s important to read the ingredients on food labels; Anna shares an example of a protein bar. (30:30) The messaging claims for meat alternatives didn’t pass Vinnie’s “smell test.&quot; (32:30)  &quot;Plant-based&quot; has leveled out, as has the “keto explosion” of packaged foods. Vinnie&#39;s &quot;Beyond Impossible&quot; documentary explains it all. (See additional show notes for links to the documentary). Anna reads an article about a new version of Beyond Meat that is coming out.  The fake meat manufacturer is trying to lure back consumers. (41:00)      Lead by Example  Anna hears how hard NSNG® is when others in the family are not on board. (46:30)  Belief work is a thing.  Only make suggestions if someone asks about your progress. Don’t preach “Vinnie says” or load others up with unsolicited “you should”s. Vinnie agrees: People have to do
