The Truth About Organic, Local Food & Living Better ft. Kawai Bitto

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your health was simply knowing where your food comes from? This week, Ali sits down with Kawai Bitto, Director of Market Operations at North Union Farmers Market, for a rich conversation on local food systems, food access, seasonal eating, and the real-life impact of supporting small farms and local makers. They dig into why local often beats organic, how farmers markets serve every budget (SNAP, WIC, and Produce Perks included), how motherhood shapes food choices, and what it means to vote with your dollars — one market visit at a time. 🍑This episode is brought to you by TheCheekyClean Collagen.
