Let me try to paint a picture. The Food Babe is that judge-y mom you see at school pickup. She’s that lady who criticizes you for bringing cupcakes to your child’s class for a birthday celebration. She’s that lady who gives you a dirty look when you show up at park with your happy meal-carrying three year old. She’s that smug lady who’s always sipping green stuff out of a BPA-free camelback and who always offers you unsolicited advice on how you can improve your parenting skills. In short, she’s a sanctimommy that profits from fear. Her strategy is simple: tell nervous moms they’re killing their kids by feeding them goldfish crackers, the occasional frozen meal, yogurt, fruit juices, fast food meals, boxes of mac-n-cheese, and on and on. You get it. But what The Food Babe rarely reveals is that she isn’t even a nutritionist. Nor is she a toxicologist or a medical doctor. Yet she doles out nutrition, toxicological, and medical advice with the confidence of someone trained in all three areas.
