Is It Healthy… or Just Marketed That Way?

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Not all “healthy” labels are created equal. You’ve probably seen terms like “all natural,” “gluten-free,” or “no added sugar” on packaging and wondered what they really mean.

I’m here to help you cut through the marketing buzz with some simple tips I follow every time I shop:

  • Look beyond the front label. Check the ingredients list for hidden sugars, preservatives, and artificial anything.
  • Real food doesn’t have a long ingredient list. If you can’t pronounce it, it’s probably not real food.
  • Be skeptical of “low-fat” or “diet” products. Sometimes they add sugar or other fillers to make up for flavor.

With this steak chili recipe, my goal was to make things as quick and EASY as possible by using the slow cooker. Trust me, it doesn't get any easier or more delicious than this one.
