I am so excited to announce the launch of my NEW COLUMN! The first installment of Extra Salt is about how Big Food is dealing with the “ultraprocessed foods” label: shrugging it off, saying the processing is actually good, and, of course, selling more.

MY LATEST: Taco Bell is killing it right now, even as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut etc etc all struggle. The key? Non-stop new limited time offers, crispy chicken, and keeping everything cheap cheap cheap.

The MAHA-GOP alliance was always an odd one: One side wants more regulation, the other is seemingly allergic to it. Now, we're seeing where the fault line of this partnership might be: pesticides.

Ten lines tucked at the end of a 200-page spending bill has some MAHA Moms threatening to defect from the GOP. Pesticide policy is a pain point that has pitted some of RFK Jr.'s supporters against congressional Republicans. w/ @deenashanker for @BW bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
as the House takes up this so-called Big Beautiful Bill, a reminder that Republican members of Congress are deciding whether low-income Americans, including their own constituents, should be able to feed themselves and their children.

This is probably the most important column I've written since I started Extra Salt. I hope you'll give it a read.

Chomps, one of the fastest-growing food brands in the US, is nearing $1 billion in sales. How big can it get if it just churns out more meat sticks?

allow me to introduce you to the latest beverage trend: healthy-ish soda. so many brands, so many flavors, so many opportunities to say, you know what, this one is NOT my fave, but this one is good.

Fun burrito fact I learned while reporting on plant-based nudges: A study found that when a cafeteria served burritos with 1.5 scoops of meat instead of 2, almost no diners noticed. But when it only served 1 scoop, half the diners asked for a second scoop!

We took on Kellogg’s and it made the whole industry wake up. Red #3 finally got banned. 26 States have legislation to ban/regulate artificial dyes. And now, the biggest food company of all Pepsi Co has just announced 8 brands are removing artificial food dyes under their portfolio. #FoodBabeArmy
