Description
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups used to be made with a handful of real ingredients. Today the label lists fourteen — including TBHQ, PGPR, and citric acid grown on black mold. The inventor's own grandson called the company out in an open letter.
In this Halloween episode, Lindsaya breaks down the Reese's recipe controversy, exposes how one night of trick-or-treating became an entire candy season, and shares exactly what her family did: the Switch Witch, more fruits and veggies, and doubling up on micronutrition when sugar runs high.
No perfection required — learn a little, apply a little.
