The Eco Chef Talks With Food Facts!

Join us for this May 25th show, where we will engage in a very interesting discussion regarding food ingredients.

My guest will be Jean Marie Schulman of www.foodfacts.com

Foodfacts.com uses an algorithm to factor nutritional data and quality of ingredients. The website rates over 50,000 brand name products and lets you in on what manufacturers are fine with you not knowing. The website dives into the facts and explains why an ingredient is controversial, and it explains how a particular ingredient is good for you. Also, for those watching their weight, you can even view the Weight Watchers Winning Points ® Value.

This concept does not stop there. Food Facts founder, Mr. Stan Rak advises that an iPhone application is very near completion. "The idea of the iPhone [application] will be to bring up the product picture, name, and score immediately. Right under that will be the ingredients and nutrition facts." This application will allow you to stand in your grocery store, scan your product bar code, and instantly get the real deal about what you are about to buy.

Please tune in Wednesday, May 11th, at 7 PM EST for this very informative show.
