CHAPTER 7

DEFEATING THE FOOD INDUSTRY

One day about 15 years ago I was talking with my friend Ted3—successful senior executive in a meal replacement bar company—about some of his biggest marketing insights. The answer was revealing: One of their most significant growth spurts began when the company REMOVED the vitamins so the bars would taste better, while they simultaneously made the packaging LOOK more nutritious and delicious.

Apparently, it’s quite profitable to distract people into THINKING they’re eating healthy.

Packaging is only one part of this trend. Another trick of the trade is to emphasize ONE ingredient with proven health benefits in order to distract you from the other harmful ones.

For example, I’m guessing most of you already know fat free foods can still be loaded with sugar. But did you know many “Heart Healthy Omega 3” packaged foods can still have very high levels of sodium? That although dry-roasted nuts may have fewer calories and be lower in unhealthy fats than nuts roasted in oil and sugar—the roasting process itself can still create cancer causing compounds in significant amounts? That “Whole Grain” labeled products can still be refined enough to spike your blood sugar and increase your risk of diabetes? (And possibly even cancer?)

These are just some of the perfectly legal ways the food industry bolsters your Pig’s best ideas. It’s a “confuse and conquer” strategy. Hundreds of intelligent, high-paid marketing executives, lawyers, consultants, and food scientists are hard at work giving your Pig more ammunition4. And why wouldn’t they be? To them, your Pig is worth billions!

Thankfully, all the Food Industry tricks are transparent and easily defeated once you shift your perspective in the simple way I’ll share in a moment. And as long as you don’t fool yourself, it’s perfectly OK to trade a little health for taste, convenience, and enjoyment if that’s what YOU really want to do. As long as these are conscious choices made with your fully informed consent, it won’t impact your ability to Never Binge Again.

But I need to tread carefully here because most people prefer to arrive at their own conclusions about what constitutes healthy food. And provided the conclusions you arrive at empower you to draw your own unambiguous line in the sand, you can and will make yourself immune to the food industry’s tricks. We needn’t agree on what constitutes healthy food… you only need to be 100% clear on it for yourself.

Your Pig may chime in here and say:

“Hey, wait just a minute here Bubba! Glenn said you could create your OWN Food Plan. He said it was entirely up to you… but now he is going to drone on about what’s healthy food vs. what’s junk. Not only is he lying… but who made him the king of health information? See? What have I been telling you! This is all just a bunch of prairie poo. Why are you wasting your time reading it at all? For God’s sake, let’s just go Binge already, OK? Can we, can we, can we, can we….
