Biography
Vani Hari (also known as the “Food Babe”) is a prominent food blogger and activist.
In April 2011, Hari launched the website FoodBabe.com to “teach people how to make the right purchasing decisions at the grocery store, how to live an organic lifestyle, and how to travel healthfully around the world.”
During the 2012 Democratic National Convention, Hari drew national media attention by holding up a “Label GMOs” sign near the podium during Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack’s speech to express her concerns about the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the U.S. food supply.
In 2013, Hari led a successful petition drive to remove the chemical, Azodicarbonamide, from bread products made by Subway, the world's biggest sandwich chain. The ingredient has been linked by the World Health Organization to respiratory issues, asthma, and allergies.
Also in 2013, Hari successfully petitioned Kraft Foods Group, Inc. to remove synthetic yellow dyes from several of its macaroni and cheese products that were shown to “promote hyperactivity and other behavior problems in some children,” and potentially pose a cancer risk.
