| Q&A: Why Water Purity Matters, The Dangers of Dehydration, and The Benefits of Proper Hydration | 01 Aug 2024 | 00:37:41 | |
We all know that water is essential, but simply drinking any water isn't enough. The quality, quantity, and the way we consume water all play crucial roles in our health. Join me in this episode of The Darin Olien Show as I discuss water’s purity, temperature, mineral content, and even its structure within foods to help you understand the dimensions of water that can make a significant difference in your health.
I dive into how water quality directly impacts cognitive function, metabolic processes, and disease prevention and why even mild dehydration can impair mental performance and contribute to health issues like kidney stones and urinary tract infections. I also discuss the importance of avoiding contaminants and pollutants in your drinking water, advocating for purified or filtered water as a key component of a healthy lifestyle.

| Marianne Williamson: The Power of Collective Action Against Corporate Influence | 13 Sep 2023 | 00:53:05 | |
In this episode of the Darin Olien show, we will explore the need for collective responsibility in dealing with various societal issues, primarily the extent of corporate influence on US policy decisions, and how individual action alone is not sufficient to bring about meaningful change. My guest Marianne Williamson explains how the power of collective action is being underestimated and should be leveraged more effectively to challenge corporate influence and advocate for social justice.
My hope with this episode is to highlight the urgent need our country has for radical change and the crucial role each person plays in shaping the world around us. Plus, the importance of electing a president who is willing to challenge the corporate duopoly and stand up against corporate interests.
Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, political activist, spiritual thought leader, and presidential candidate.
For over three decades, she has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles. She is the author of 15 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers.
Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 16 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS.
She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Williamson ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 and is running for 2024.

| Fatal Conveniences™: Apeel | 07 Sep 2023 | 00:19:55 | |
Have you ever heard of Apeel before? Whether you have or haven’t, You may have already eaten a piece of fruit at some point that was covered in it.
Apeel is a plant-based coating or ‘peel’ that helps produce stay fresh for longer by slowing water loss, preventing oxidation and protecting against environmental stress, which are the primary causes of food spoilage. It uses a microscopic amount of Monoglycerides and Diglycerides, which are naturally found in fruits and vegetables, to create a breathable extra layer that keeps moisture inside the produce while keeping oxygen out.
While these glycerides can be extracted from any fruit or vegetable, Apeel extracts them from widely grown plant oils that are passed through a purifying process to remove allergens, impurities and trans fats. Apeel claims that it only uses plant oils from non-GMO and sustainably grown sources.
So, what’s the issue? Find out in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™.

| David Reid: Remineralizing Your Body, Shilajit, and Manna Vitality | 06 Sep 2023 | 01:08:33 | |
Ever considered how the minerals we take in from our food and environment significantly affect our health and vitality? The industrial revolution has altered our natural landscape and our health, leading to the demineralization of our food sources and, consequently, our bodies. What we can do to counteract this is what we will unpack in this episode of the Darin Olien Show with guest, David Reid.
David is the co-founder of MANNA Vitality. He has been traveling across the globe for over a decade searching for Fulvic acid and nutrients gathered from both the Earth and the sea, from the highest point and lowest points on the planet, to provide a comprehensive and enhanced mineral therapy.
We also explore the incredible benefits of shilajit, a potent black mineral that has been an essential component of Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. You’ll learn about its ability to upregulate collagen, mitochondria, and anabolic hormones, and the trace minerals it contains.
What we discuss:
0:08:32 - Natural vs Synthetic Minerals 0:11:35 - Making Sustainable Salt From Dead Seawater 0:17:12 - Exploring the Ancient Origins of Shilajit 0:25:52 - Importance of Nature in Maintaining Health 0:35:26 - Exciting Era of Consciousness and Wellness 0:41:17 - Water's Role in Body Functioning 0:51:03 - Natural Remedies 0:58:17 - Blockchain Transparency in Marketing

Key Takeaways:
1. Natural minerals play a crucial role in human health and their lack can lead to various diseases and conditions. The industrial revolution has inadvertently stripped both our bodies and our plants of these essential minerals, necessitating a journey to rediscover and replenish these micronutrients.
2. Shilajit, a powerful black ooze used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, is a remarkable substance capable of upregulating collagen, mitochondria, anabolic hormones, and macro and trace minerals. Its key component, fulvic acid, plays a crucial role in making minerals bioavailable.
3. Modern society's focus on profits has often overshadowed the importance of health. Natural products like Manna, which prioritize our health, are crucial in this context. Shilajit, a component of Manna, remineralizes and electrifies the fluid in our bodies, enhancing hydration, aging, and overall health. The cell membrane potential also plays a significant role in boosting our immunity.

In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Vani Hari about the carcinogenic ingredients that multi-billion dollar companies are putting in the food they sell us.

She shares a few of her favourite snack and breakfast options and how you can get started in the kitchen.

| Tips To Increase Your Skin’s Natural Glow | 24 Aug 2023 | 00:16:43 | |
For years we have been inundated with advertisements for skin care that fights aging and wrinkles. Women in particular have been targeted, as society has a particularly high standard for their appearance. In fact studies have shown that women spend almost 10 times more on cosmetic products per year than men. Additionally all of these skin care products claim to help with smoothness or reducing acne. What these marketing schemes aren’t transparent about is the toxic chemicals included in these products such as mercury, which can cause toxicity and poisoning leading to tremors, changes in vision and hearing, and memory problems). These products also include PFOAs and PTFEs. These have been linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, and reproduction harm. Whatever is going on your skin is going in your skin and a lot of these ingredients included in “anti-aging” skincare products are toxic to our body. So, how do we obtain younger looking skin without putting our bodies (and skin) at risk? That’s what we are going to explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences Solutions – Alternatives for anti aging skincare.

As we look into the future, we see endless potential in further expanding the Dirt Locker system and developing additional products that make landscaping more efficient and sustainable.

Do you know what is the number one category of food that has the highest caloric intake? Breads, pastries, buns, bagels, muffins, granola cereals, all of that stuff. Food companies have been tricking us into using their products as healthy breakfasts and so-called nutrition experts and maybe even some guru on social media are telling you what's healthy or not. But ultimately, these processed foods are the biggest thing ravaging our health. And the biggest culprits of that is around breakfast. That's why, in this episode of Fatal Convenience Solutions, we're going to explore better solutions for your breakfast.

| Torrey DeVitto: How to Reconnect With Nature and Source | 09 Aug 2023 | 00:50:48 | |
When was the last time you noticed the love in your life? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Torrey DeVitto about the importance of keeping our focus on love. And by love, we don’t mean a significant other- we’re talking about the only feeling that is real in this human experience of ours. We’re not meant to be in these individual bodies - we are all part of one big thing. And love is what brings us back to feeling connected to this big thing. Torrey also explains how Nature is a great way to explore what it is us humans go through. If you think of the cycles we go through in our human experience, nature goes through almost the same ones. And it’s true for the animals and for the flora. Thus why nature is a great place to explore when we are experiencing a difficult time in our lives. Torrey DeVitto is an actress, advocate, philanthropist, and producer. She is best known for her six season run on the NBC drama, "Chicago Med" playing Natalie Manning, the 'girl next door' and a doctor in the ER Pediatrics division.

We talked about how convenient it is to be able to talk to family or friends, attend a work meeting, listen to your favorite music or podcast, all while being able to move around without the hassle of wires getting tangled or in the way. But this convenience comes at a serious cost. The bluetooth technology that these wireless headphones use expose us to a specific type of low-level EMFs. Research has shown that plants, animals, and humans can all be damaged by these frequencies, with children being much more susceptible. Is there a solution to this fatal convenience?

Do you usually eat your lunch at your desk? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Laura Putnam about how our society is built around sitting down. Our cities are made for driving, our offices are made for sitting, and our homes are made for lounging. But all of this sitting-down time is detrimental to our health, thus the importance of incorporating movement in the areas of your life where you spend most of your time: at work. Laura also shares a few movements you can easily incorporate in your day-to-day to get started and discusses which movement patterns are best for you. Laura is a speaker, author, and activator. She founded Motion Infusion in 2008, inspired by her discoveries around the need for motion. Movement is one of the best things we can do for our bodies and our brains. The problem is, we all live in a world that conspires against us getting active - or being well. She believes it's time we take action. What we discuss: 07:21: What made Laura start her career in movement? 11:20: What was Laura’s experience with teaching her method to children? 16:40: If we’re born to move, why are we discouraged to do so by society? 22:42: How can you incorporate more movement in your life? 28:26: What movements can you implement right away? 33:06: Is exercise really necessary to be healthy? 44:06: Are we being productive if we aren’t moving? 52:05: What kinds of movement patterns are best?

| How to Naturally Eliminate Body Odor | 27 Jul 2023 | 00:14:47 | |
The human body is supposed to sweat, so when you block your sweat glands with chemicals, they can’t do their job and you’re messing with your health. We don’t want to be sweaty and smelly, so it might seem like deodorants are our only option. But chemical baths for our pits clogging up our lymph nodes and exposing ourselves to chemicals are not the way to go. There’s a lot of data around deodorant linked to breast cancer, hormone changes and endocrine disruption. One of the main culprits is aluminum, which is found in these products. One study stated that aluminum is known to have a genotoxic profile capable of causing both DNA alterations, and epigenetic effects. Fortunately, there are solutions that will reduce the smell, and won’t compromise your health. Due to the media coverage on the link between breast cancer and aluminum in deodorants consumers have become increasingly aware of the chemicals they place on and around their bodies. This has caused a major shift in the market to accommodate the demand for more natural, less harmful products - which is great! If we move away from chemical deodorants? What do we use instead? How do we know the deodorant we are buying is actually safe for our health? In this episode of Fatal Conveniences Solutions, we’re exploring the solutions for deodorant. What I discuss: 07:28: What are the dangers of deodorant? 13:25: What brands can you safely use? Reliable sources where you can learn more:

As a pharmacist, he shares insights into how the principles used to promote muscle growth can be applied to skin health. We discuss the detriments of ultra-processed food on our skin and overall health and the need for a health revolution. We need to make a shift from external cosmetic products and surgeries to a lifestyle enriched with proper nutrition. We also tackle the misconception of beauty products and the risks of an excessive reliance on external products to resolve our skin issues. Instead, we need to look at raw living foods that are rich in nutrients and beneficial for both our overall health and our skin. Benjamin Knight Fuchs is a registered pharmacist, nutritionist and skin care chemist. For the past 35 years, he’s been developing pharmacy-potent skin health products for estheticians, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and his own savvy customers.

| Protect Your Mouth Microbiome With These Natural Solutions | 20 Jul 2023 | 00:11:41 | |
Your oral microbiome is just as important as your gut microbiome. Your oral microbiome is linked to your digestion, immunity, nutrient absorption, cardiovascular health, and so much more. This means, when we use products that disrupt our oral microbiome, we also disrupt our countless other systems of the body. Mouthwash happens to be one of these products. It may leave your mouth with a minty fresh scent, but it’s also killing the bacteria that are trying to keep your teeth and gums healthy. You know that cool mint Listerine that looks cool and minty? It contains dye green number three, which has been linked to bladder cancer. And then the original Scope contained yellow number five made from a derivative of coal tar. And blue number one has been connected to cancer in many of the animal tests that have been done. This is why in today’s episode, we are going to explore solutions for the Fatal Convenience: Mouthwash.

| Robert Greene: The #1 Way to Protect Yourself From Being Deceived By Others | 19 Jul 2023 | 01:07:36 | |
What happens when we make a conscious effort to truly understand the intricacies of human behavior and social intelligence? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Robert Greene about self-awareness, the ability to recognize our own flaws, and how this recognition propels personal growth. Transitioning to the idea of deception, we emphasize the need to develop a sense of detachment when observing people, drawing on Carl Jung's concept of the enantiodromia to recognize contradictions in character traits. Oftentimes, people show us exactly the opposite of who they really are and most people tend to take this person who is standing right in front of them for face value, hence ending up being deceived in the long-term. We also discuss the pressing need for authenticity in a digital-driven world. Robert stresses the importance of fostering real-life connections and empathy and to put our phones away. Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently of The Daily Laws. In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, Greene’s books are hailed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry. What we discuss: 04:00: Why did Robert write his book? 11:20: How can we open up our consciousness? 17:13: How can we build up new skills once we recognize our weaknesses? 23:05: What strategies can we resort to cultivate awareness? 29:56: What can we do better as a society? 45:59: What does our history say about us? 51:21: How has Robert’s stroke affected his life?

| 3 Simple Ways to Hydrate Optimally for Better Health | 06 Jul 2023 | 00:14:23 | |
Did you know 75% of people living in the United States suffer from dehydration? This causes fatigue, brain fog, irritability, hormonal issues, poor digestion, and lack of proper functioning of different systems in your body, and more. In fact, your body can’t always differentiate between your feelings of hunger and thirst. Which means, when you feel hungry, it could actually mean you’re just thirsty. Confusing these feelings can lead to excess food intake and unwanted weight gain. Although most people will use sports drinks and regular tap water to hydrate themselves, these are not the most effective ways to do it and come with certain effects that affect our health. Therefore, we must look for safer and healthier alternatives to prevent dehydration. That’s what we explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences Solution edition.

| Antibiotics in Meat | Fatal Conveniences™ | 08 Jun 2023 | 00:19:01 | |
When it comes to animal agriculture, most animals aren’t living freely pasturing in wide-spaced green areas. Breeders and animal farms are more likely to be torturous prisons than the happy Uncle Bill farm that appears on the logo of your favorite hamburgers. And guess what? It comes at a cost to your health. The animal industry is regulated differently by each country, but there’s one thing in common: meat from sick animals can’t be commercialized, but with the living conditions of the animals, they are inevitably going to get sick. So “naturally”, the animals in farms are medically treated to prevent or combat infectious diseases, most of which are treated with antibiotics. You know the age-old saying: You are what you eat. So what happens to your health when the meat you are eating is pumped with antibiotics? This is what we explore in this episode of Fatal Conveniences™. What we discuss: 06:43: What are the dangers of antibiotic resistance? 08:07: How are these animals treated? 10:19: How is this a public health issue? 14:21: What can you do about it?

| What Is The Real Meaning of Love, Boundaries, and Being Powerfully You? | Danielle Laporte | 07 Jun 2023 | 00:58:02 | |
Are you capable of forgiving? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Danielle Laporte about what it is to love, to forgive, and how they both impact a relationship. Many of us tend to lead in our relationships from our wounds and not from a state of consciousness that is equivalent to love, which is the reason why so many relationships these days go sideways at some point. Danielle also shares the role that karma plays in our lives and how we can recognize it in the relationships we are a part of. Danielle Laporte is a best-selling Canadian author, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and blogger. Her book, The Fire Starter Sessions (Harmony, 2014), is a best-seller and focuses on finding your passion in life and work – inside the system and out. What we discuss: 02:01: Why does Danielle approach goal setting the way she does? 04:51: Is loving a feeling? 07:51: What is forgiveness? 20:02: Is karma a weapon? 23:54:What is powerfully you? 27:13: Are relationships really about love? 30:53: How do you know your boundaries are crossed? 43:51: Are we programmed by society? 45:24: Why you can’t lead from your wound 47:49: What can you do right now?

| Incense | Fatal Conveniences™ | 01 Jun 2023 | 00:13:20 | |
Burning incense or resins has been a common practice among almost all ancient civilizations in the preservation of tombs, spiritual healing, and ceremonies. But…the commercialization of incense has led to incense no longer being what they once were… Did you know, incense contains 35% fragrances…and you know what’s hiding under the fragrance label? Chemicals linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, endocrine disruption, birth defects and reproductive problems. Plus, burning incense can emit benzene, toluene and other volatile organic compounds deteriorating the environment. This is only skimming the surface and why we’re about to explore the fatal convenience of incense.

| Who Are You Allowing To Sit At The Head Of The Table? | Stef Ziev | 31 May 2023 | 01:05:16 | |
Which version of you is sitting at the head of the table? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Stef Ziev about how easy it is to create the life you want, but also how easy it is to create a life where we believe we have no choice. She explains how we often tell ourselves stories that are coming from a place of despair. Instead, we should be looking through a lense of new opportunity. Stef also explains the importance of becoming conscious of who it is we are letting sit at the head table in our life. Without realizing it, we may be letting the perfectionist, pessimist, and fearful version of ourselves sit at this important spot. By becoming conscious of it, we can swap out which version of you is sitting at that front seat for one that wants the best for you. Stef Ziev is a former TV executive turned certified life and executive coach and author. Since starting her coaching practice in 2007, Stef has worked with thousands of successful and driven professionals, executives, leaders, and organizations in the fields of entertainment, law, marketing, financial services, accounting, engineering, and talent delivery at companies including The New York Times, Google, American Express, Viacom, NBCUniversal, Pearle Vision, and many more.

When you remove those factors, do you have a healthy product?

In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Hagen Thiers about the dangers of EMFs and radiation, and the numerous health issues that can arise from prolonged exposure. We also dive into Waveguard, a shielding material developed by Hagen that is designed to minimize or block electromagnetic radiation from electronic devices.

| Induction & Gas Stoves | Fatal Conveniences™ | 18 May 2023 | 00:22:35 | |
Gas stoves provide an instant and constant heat source and burn cleaner than coal and wood burning stoves. And people who love their gas stoves really loooove their gas stoves. But if they knew what their beloved cooktop was releasing into their home, would they still hold it in such high regard? Nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter are just a few harmful pollutants found in gas stoves, and it doesn’t stop there. And what about induction stoves? They don’t burn gas, so this must be an eco-friendly alternative, right? Induction cooktops offer fast and efficient cooking by using electromagnetic energy to transfer heat to magnetic cookware. But induction stoves also come with a warning. Pregnant women, children, or individuals who rely on a pacemaker should avoid this cooktop due to potential exposure to EMFs. And we know that EMFs are linked to all kinds of harmful consequences. Is boiling water faster worth the risk? That’s what we will explore in this episode of Fatal Convenience. What we discuss: 05:36: The history of gas stoves 07:13: What are induction stoves? 07:51: What makes all of these convenient? 17:56: What can you do about it?

| The Healing Properties of Infrared Light Therapy with Robby Besner | 17 May 2023 | 01:10:06 | |
How much time per day do you sunbathe? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Robby Besner about how disconnected we are from nature and how much of today’s chronic illnesses are due to it. While most of us live a life where we can’t completely cut off EMFs from our lives nor live outdoors, there is a solution to reconnecting with our balanced and natural energetic fields: infrared light therapy. Infrared light therapy involves the use of low-level light in the infrared spectrum to promote healing and provide various therapeutic benefits. While the effectiveness and specific applications of infrared light therapy may vary, some potential benefits include pain relief, improved circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced immune function, enhanced tissue repair, and stress reduction. Robby Besner, PSc.D, is recognized as the leader in integrated infrared technology. Rob has always been an advocate of natural health and wellness. After many years of illness, Mr. Besner’s teenage daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. This began his mission to find alternative, holistic and homeopathic avenues of treatment. He discovered the natural healing effects of Infrared frequencies and began developing specialized devices and applications to help his daughter, and others, with similar health challenges. What we discuss: 06:13: How was Therasage born? 23:48: What is infrared? 33:35: What are EMFs doing to our health? 38:48: How did Robby package up the healing benefits of sunlight? 48:22: What are PMFs? 56:37: Are we asking the question “why” enough? 01:02:19: How does Robby determine what’s the next product they will develop? 01:06:58: Where can you learn more about Robby?

| Vegan Food Labels | Fatal Conveniences™ | 11 May 2023 | 00:24:42 | |
The vegan food label has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. It allows individuals who choose to adopt a vegan lifestyle to easily identify products that align with their dietary choices and values. However, the vegan label can also be dangerous, as many people mistakenly believe that just because a food item is vegan, it must be healthy. This makes it confusing for a significant part of the public to make right decisions about their food intakes. It’s time for us to start taking a second look at the vegan food labels to see the nasty ingredients hiding within that can be just as detrimental to our health as animal foods. If we want to use plant-based diets for the good of our health and the planet, we need to become educated beyond the labels we see on the front of food packages. Food marketing is scamming us of our health and it’s time for it to end. That’s why, in today’s Fatal Convenience, we explore the Vegan Food Label. What I discuss: 07:46: How is meat consumption bad for us and the environment? 08:34: The history of veganism 12:09: Do we really need to kill animals to get nutrients? 14:31: Can you be healthy by avoiding dairy and meat? 15:09: What resources can you use to learn more? 16:51: What is this all doing to our digestive systems? 17:37: How can you eat a healthy vegan diet?

| How To Become Self-Sufficient With Zero-Waste Homes | Joost Bakker | 10 May 2023 | 01:18:42 | |
Is your home currently operating in a way that allows you to be self-sufficient? In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Joost Bakker about his vision of what a zero-waste world would look like. While we produce a lot of waste in our homes, we don’t have a solution as to what to do with the waste at this moment. However, we have the technology to use our waste and our homes to transform them into a powerhouse and source of energy and food for ourselves, all while being as green as possible. Joost also shares how our food system is broken. The systems we have in place to feed our people aren’t sustainable and it is only a question of time until it breaks. He proposes alternatives to some of the problems he notices in our food system, such as the milk system. Joost Bakker has been called a visionary, disruptor, environmental activist, and ahead of his time. Over the last 25 years, Joost has highlighted the world’s wasteful ways using multiple platforms from art installations, floristry, design, and architecture to bars and restaurants. What we discuss: 01:05: What progress are the greenhouses experiencing? 08:00: What other places in the world is soil mined? 12:17: How did the fuel we have today was born? 18:22: Is our current food system hurting us? 21:37: How is the system failing us? 23:24: Why do we keep creating synthetic materials? 28:55: Why was Joost threatened to go to jail? 40:18: Can we make naturally-made houses? 49:33: How many opportunities are there in Los Angeles? 52:55: What did Joost do after each filming? 01:02:55: What is the #1 problem on earth? 01:06:00: Where to learn more from Joost?

| Fake Meats | Fatal Conveniences™ | 04 May 2023 | 00:23:49 | |
The awareness of the harmful consequences of meat consumption on human health especially processed meats and conventionally grown meats as well as the toll on the environment grows every day, and so, the need for plant-based protein alternatives increases as well. In recent years, we have seen a surge of various plant-based “meat” brands that sell the idea of replacing regular protein sources with vegan patties and tenders that are almost identical in looks and flavor to the animal version. Brands like Beyond Meat and Morningstar have increased popularity for proposing a way to enjoy old-fashioned animal flavors without actually harming any animal. However, these kinds of foods remain with the harmful effects of highly processed products and are filled with harmful chemicals and dyes. That begs the question: Are fake meat alternatives healthier? Are we making a healthier choice when we opt for plant-based meat alternatives over the real deal? This is what we explore today in this episode of Fatal Conveniences. Get ready to dive into the world of Fake Meats. What we discuss: 05:04: What is the history of fake meats? 09:56: Is Beyond Meat healthier than real meat? 12:35: What role does Fake Meat play in obesity? 15:24: What are the ingredients of Fake Meat?

While it was difficult making the shift, Eben learned how to listen to the messages that the Universe kept sending him but have been ignoring for a long time. Through studying these messages and experiences that came from them, he learned how to move forward and step into his most powerful self. Eben also shares how important it is to trust your intuition when you are presented with these downloads as they allow you to find your inner God. The best way to find your inner God is to get in touch with your higher power through meditation practice.

| Kids Meals | Fatal Conveniences™ | 27 Apr 2023 | 00:17:42 | |
Parents have a lot on their plate, trying to raise and support their children. At the end of the day, battling with your child to eat healthy food may seem like a battle you’re too tired to fight. Hence why so many parents turn to giving their kids food like chicken fingers, french fries, grilled cheese, and mac and cheese. The kids eat it without a fight…that’s great, right? While in the moment this may seem like the easiest and best option, what are all these deep fried and processed foods doing to your children’s health, in the short term and the long term? Unfortunately, restaurants in America are fueling the convenience of giving children deep fried and processed foods with their kids meal options. They are cheap, quick, and put a smile on your kid’s face. But at what cost? That’s why it’s time for us to explore the Fatal Convenience: Kids Meals.
