Greenwashing: Uncovering the Hidden Deceptions
In today’s world, it’s easy to be misled by clever marketing and buzzwords like “natural,” “eco-friendly,” or “sustainable.” But how often does real action back these claims? Unfortunately, many products claiming to be “natural” or “organic” are far from it. This deceptive practice, known as greenwashing, is rampant across the food industry and beyond—and it’s something we all need to be aware of.
In my book It Is Never Late for a Healthy Childhood, I explore how companies use greenwashing to mislead consumers. They make us believe we’re making healthier, more ethical choices when, in reality, we’re being sold a false sense of security. Understanding how to spot these tactics is key to reclaiming control over your health and your purchasing power.
