Episode Details

Episode 2836 - The episode opens with Austin presenting research documenting how major food companies including the Philip Morris-connected Lunchables brand deliberately engineered ultra-processed children’s food products using the same psychological addiction strategies the tobacco industry refined over decades. Both hosts connect the salt, fat, and sugar combination engineering to the dopamine dependency cycle both have been documenting and call on parents to understand that these products are not designed for nutrition but for repeat purchase behavior modification in children.
