The Great Organic/Non-Organic Debate – Michele Payn

Are you one of those consumers who have trouble navigating the grocery store? Like, should I buy organic foods or non-organic foods to improve my health? Do you ever wonder if you’re being bullied by specific marketing messages that influence your food decisions or make you feel guilty about what you eat?

Organic food sales in the US were at an all-time high in 2022 breaking through $60 billion in total revenue. This demonstrated annual incremental growth over the last 10 years. On the marketing side, there are over 200,000 misleading marketing messages in a grocery store that can influence your food choices.

In this podcast, we speak with Michelle Payn, who discusses what separates organic vs non-organic foods, whether or not they provide additional nutritional benefits, how food companies are bullying you and you don’t even know it, and how to help yourself and your children overcome these messages.
