A couple of months ago, My mom came by and dropped off a lot of stuff from my old room. She’s been waiting years for me to clean it out and finally she just did it herself (sorry and thank you Mom!). While I was putting up some of the boxes in my storage closet, I came across my old debate trophies, lots of fun notes I used to pass in class with my girlfriends and old pictures. When I was looking through the pictures, my jaw dropped open. I have changed so much from that time and tears started rolling down my face. Memories of the way I used to feel flooded over me. When I showed these pictures to my husband, he couldn’t believe it either – he’s never seen me that way. I didn’t meet him until after I started looking and feeling better. I know many of you wonder where I get my intense passion from, so today I’m going to share those pictures with you in my new The Food Babe Way book trailer video.
My hope is that these pictures inspire you to make the health change you’ve been wanting to make for yourself. For most of my life I lived in what felt like a foreign body – the food and chemicals I was eating were not serving my health, my weight, or my beauty. I suffered a myriad of health issues that kept me on several prescription drugs just to cope – now I’m on zero. I truly look older in these pictures, while I was over a decade younger!
I never thought sharing old pictures would bring up so much emotion. This video is serious and intense but explains the reality we live in. There’s only one person you can trust.

Vani – this literally gave me the chills! I am so proud of you and I am so grateful that I found the Foodbabe way & website. Stay strong!
Ditto!!
Way to go Vani. I absolutely LOVE the work you’re doing in our world. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for posting this! You are beautiful. It was so nice to put a voice with your face. Keep up the great work.
I love your passion for this very important work! Also I found it interesting to see your new self compared to your old self in the photos. What a transformation! I know you shouldn’t focus on people’s external appearance, but their inner beauty. I have to say you absolutely glow with health and vitality. Well done. As Deena said, keep up the great work.
It Was nice to hear hear your voice. We need you to take Vilsack’s job in Washington.
Thank you for being so brave and showing us exactly what our food industry as it is today leaves us looking and feeling like. I’m using all of your investigations and articles to teach my family a new and better way and following you very closely! I’m praying that your book hits the best sellers list because it truly is time for change.
This is awesome Vani!!!
So disappointed that I waited one day too late; Ticket for Feb. 10th event sold out. Really happy and excited for you, and thank you, thank you for taking up this very important cause.
This is so exciting. I am thankful for all your efforts!
I’ve been following “The Food Babe Way” for a couple years now. Really good, super-informative stuff Vani. Please keep at it. Whether they know it or not, people NEED you and your team to KEEP AT IT. Thanks. 🙂
Hi Vani! I’m so super excited about your new book and I am so sad the tickets are sold out and I can’t get out of work on such short notice to meet you! You have changed my life in a huge way and given me hope! I hope I Will still get a chance to meet you in the future at another book signing! But until then, keep on investigating!
I watched your video and right at the end the tears hit me!
Was not expected at all. You go girl – good for you what
you are doing. I do appreciate it much as the food industry
is way out of control. I ordered your book via my brother
who has ‘Prime’ shipping with Amazon. Looking forward
to it.
Much Love for you and what you do. Beautiful inside and out. Thanks for being you and working hard for us all. Video was great!
You are a blessing in my life. I am 294lbs.. but thanks to foodbabe.com I have learned to eat again..and I have lost 24lbs…you opened my eyes. Now my family can enjoy real food and a healthy life. God bless you..
That’s amazing! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!
Wow – You ROCK girl! Thank you for me, for us, and for the beautiful world we live in. Many are counting on you to continue leading your charge to do the good work. The Will of People is the way out …. Some folks get hung up on the money and some have switched sides. Sad. Keep doing what you are doing. I appreciate your efforts greatly. Connecting the dots, one at a time, is creating some of the best momentum and achievements of the last few decades. Congrats to all of us who keep tabs on what we put into our bodies and who we choose to support on social media ! Thanks Again Voni – Great Job with this latest video. We’ll be right here with You!
Much Love
Debbie
Hi Vani,
I just ordered your book, I know it will be a great read !!!!!!!
After watching your video, I can see you have found out what a lot of people have found, the big food companies don’t want to change but as we both know, they will have to, to stay in business. While the rest of the world is changing, those companies are falling behind.
Look Luck, I hope your book becomes a best seller !!!!!!
I am so proud of you, Vani! Stay strong! We are with you!
Ordered book for my daughter and one for me….. Cannot wait…. Trying to follow plan one step at a time. Thank you for all good information…. You inspire me…. I am requesting more organic in stores I food shop in and watch for additives….
Thank you again…
Well Done, I first saw you on the show Home and Family and am glad I tuned in that day. Thanks for all of your hard work!!!!!!!
This is amazing Vani. I have been following you for sometime and want to thank you for all the effort you have put into making the food industry safe. Super excited about the book! Congratulations!
great video, looking forward to getting your book, but you’ve already taught me so much already!
OMG….I used to look just like you when I was younger. Even heavier. I now weigh 110 lbs and feel GREAT! Even though I am following a stricter eating plan (plant-based only, no oils of any kind), I follow your fight for GMO labeling, less chemicals in our foods, and am proud to be part of the “FOOD BABE ARMY”! Keep up the good work…we all depend on you and appreciate what you do!! 🙂
Wow! Wonderful video! Thank you for everything you do!!!
Vani speaks the truth and i am so proud of her and what she is doing. We all need to support her in the effort.. The sad truth is there are millions of people out there that are totally unaware of what is going on in the food industry.
U Go Girl… I am in full support .. Fit4life… Eating clean all the way..
Vani I am very proud of you for having the courage to expose the food industry for what it is complete corrupt garbage and I couldn’t be more happier to see you someone of truth receive the recognition you deserve in the media your amazing. I unfortunately will not be able to see you Feb 10 due to family matters but know that I will support your book and the food babe army movement forever.
Stay Blessed!!! Love U
Thank you for you openness and honesty. I am happy for you transformation and for you telling us about the truth of what is in our food. You have exposed the food industry and big government. Thank you. I wish I could totally eat organic and gmo free but my budget wont allow it. I do what I can to buy and feed real food to my family. Unfortunately I am strictly on a very tight budget so I am doing the best I can for us at them moment. I hope that someday we will get to eat organically and GMO free!! I don’t have boxed mixes nor seasoning packets in the house. I’ve been using butter instead of margarine for years but it isn’t organic butter because I just can’t right now. Thank you for informing us. I will do my best as I can and while I shop I know what to stay away from gmos and I do my best but like I stated as a single mom with a family of five on low income I do my best. Keep informing us so that we can do the best that we can.
So glad the world can see what amazing things you do! I’m only fourteen and so thankful you are there to help me live healthy in a world of fast food eating teens around me- totally changed the way I see food. Thank you and congratulations!!
Thank you for sharing what is so personal for you.
Well done. Thank You.
My family is definitely going to order the book on payday! We are somewhat educated but we can always learn more. What i really love about what you is you are teaching rather than preaching and you are simply stating the facts without some gimmick!
Raw Organic Food Diet ? For Getting your life back and for Weight Loss? Must balance your diet with moving your body to make it all work for you.
Ok Now listen to this video and this is my take . Yes a raw organic food diet high in enzymes is essential for your good health weight loss and immune system support and this is the only way that you can get your super antioxidant named Glutathione into your body as this nutrient is destroyed by heating your foods. The key to all of this is to know your body and constitution and to eat foods locally grown in your location organically whole foods first choice . You must be comfortable spiritually emotionally and mindfully with your eating plan . Or you will be setting yourself up to problems down the road.
Never one size fits all and you must eat a food and beverage plan that fits your
1-Constitution,
2-Ancestry
3-Life Style
4- Body type ( your level of health and current weight ?
5-and other factors that need to be factored in preferably by a Natural Path Physician and clinical nutritionalist that knows and can study you .
6- Support your local organic farmer for your choice of perishables and step up to your plate to grow your own garden for empowerment of your life . You can work with others . You do not have to be alone in this journey of Life and Happiness.
Chef Barry visited many ND natural path Doctors during his own Health Crisis to drop the excess 100 pounds of weight off of his 5 foot 4 inch body frame so he endorses Holistic intervention when needed. The Paleo Diet has some good points but with todays AFFCO contaminated meats so readily available it makes meat consumption some what dangerous .And then again it is the way the foods are prepared in your Earth Kitchen that also makes all the difference in the end .
But that said Chef Barry also takes in some Weston Price Principals and incorporates due diligence and very careful study and selection of animal that he himself knows when visiting the organic farmer friends located on Phuket Island in Thailand . Yes I know that most people today cannot do this and it is out of their reach . But do the best you can under these trying times because our food supply is so tainted with GMOs for profit and not for health of the people and start from getting yourself off of the commercial brand process dead foods VEGAN or not . This kind of Glue is killing most people prematurely and the price of dead long shelf of fake processed foods are expensive way more than perishable produce. Your comments are welcomed . Thank You Holistic Chef Barry Your Good Earth Chef & Friend 4 LiFE”
Well done . . . It’s amazing what great information is really out there. Education can get you from 1st base back to home. . . Big business, including the D.C gutless wonder, whose clamorings, Godless mentalities and greeed are the standard debaucheries of the ‘Prince of Darkness’. Scary dark clouds are easily seen but the underlining of light’s undaunted brightness lies solely in a truth that sets you free. The answer is and has always been hanging from a tree or a bush. Eating bulk is the way; divinely so!!! So many people have shared their remarkable stories/testimonies in my travels and office. You name the disease and these folks walked away with no strings. regrets and now wearing a resilient inner smile on their faces… The fear, the doubts and pain all fell away. This grass roots surging will not stop growing and more knowledge is rising to the surface daily. Bottom line. . . everything we have ever needed has always been right in front of us; divinely so!!! Democracy has and always will be alive and well through the individual taking responsibility; on all fronts. Democracy does not thrive through self centeredness but through working together for the common good; not greeed! Food Babe is an example of what can be done when folks work together. This whole mess is Godlessness made manifest. Watch your food/drink and your health with take care of itself;innately so!!! God Bless America!!!
Hi Vani,
Great video! What program did you use to create it? Many thanks!
~doreen

I am starting to rid my body of unwanted fat round my middle and am feeling fit as doing yoga arial floating again.Thanks food babe
Every time Food Babe starts a new campaign we see numerous comments criticizing her work.
It should not surprise anyone that people are paid to write critical comments and defame Vani and the Food Babe Army.
All we want is food the way it was grown 200 hundred years ago. Organic is the way to go. Go Vani! You are the best!!!
Vani,
I’ve followed you for a couple of years now and love your emails. You’re fighting a tough battle and an important one! Thank you. I see your motivation to be healthy and for you, your friends and family, to live long healthy lives. I hope your book is a big hit and congrats. You’ve changed me and my eating habits forever. Thank you.
I can’t believe the words that are coming out of my mouth to others about the food industry and the products that are being served up to Americans…your words! Keep doing your home work and I love your passion and energy for this work of your and ours.
Sincerely,
Doug Keyes

Vani,
I am only 21 years old, but I am so happy I found you. I don’t currently have any health problems, but I figured I would change before I developed any! Since you influenced me, I’ve influenced my boyfriend. Thank you so much!
Thank you Vani!!!! You are doing a GREAT job❤❤❤
Thanks, Vani! Your thorough, dogged commitment to revealing the truth about all aspects of food–ingredients, chemicals, hidden additives, non-organic materials, dirty secrets of food companies, and health implications of all of the above– is a true service to our families, our farmers, growers, and legitimate producers of food. Thanks sincerely for being our Food Babe. David Connor, VT
Again, congratulations on publishing your book, and many thanks for raising awareness about the modern food chain and its risks. I have learned so much in the months since I discovered your work and commentary, especially the labeling tricks and equivocation of food processors; and I was an “informed” consumer to begin with. Cheers Vani!
You’re my hero! Thanks for all the work you do.
Hi Vani, I am not one of those who has constantly been nagging at you to show your old pics, but am glad you did, so they can get over it already & concentrate on what is really important. You look great & are a perfect example of what healthy, organic, non-GMO eating can do for anyone. I truly appreciate the information you share with me & everyone else whether we can help support your work or not. Thank you
First…thank you for all you do! What an amazing transformation! I’m sure it’s nothing compared to the difference you feel on the inside both physically and emotionally. I know you get negative comments on every post, but they’re just haters. Don’t ever get discouraged! Keep up the fight!
Impressive little video. You remind me of my wife. Plump when I first met her then through healthier eating and exercising the beautiful flower blossomed. I guess everyone can look this way, you just have to commit yourself and make some healthy changes. It’s tough at first but once people notice and comment, the race is on. Thanks for your continual dedication to inspiring others and showing them the way. You are indeed special!
Way to go Vani. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! People are waking up slowly to the reality and it is wonderful to have you on our side helping us to do so.
Almost 6 months ago, I started working at a corporate job that requires a lot of travel and eating out, just like your job did. All I have to say is that I’m thankful for your website because I’ve been using it to guide me in my journey towards being healthier (or as healthy as I can be) and I am very much looking forward to reading your book. I even bought copies for my former coworker and manager at my old job because I want to share the knowledge, just like you are doing with your blog and your book! Thank you very much, Vani. Words can’t express how grateful I am for what you are doing for us.
Thank you for everything you do! You’re a blessing to my children.
I too have pictures before and after.. Amazing what happens inside and OUT when you fuel your body with GOOD nutrition.. REAL food,etc.
Great job Vani!
Thank you Vani for all of your hard work I am learning so much. I am looking forward to reading your book. We all need someone like you to make the food industry responsible and send a strong message that we want to live healthy lives and avoid getting sick. Any enemies you have need to wake up and follow your army.
Vani, You are the beacon of light on the highest hill, you are the modern day Paul Revere warning of dangers from the food industry which had become our enemy in the USA. You are a David, going up against the Goliath. Thanks you!!! we’re all behind you.
Do you Eat to Live or do you LIVE to EAT?
From what I observe around me, in the grocery stores, the packed lineups of cars and people at fast food death dealers, and within those big box super-stores where you can get Mega sized every things… People are 24/7/365 grazing like hippopotamus’ submerged in the waterways….only coming up for an occasional draw of breath and then back at it. I see the over all girth of kids and adults and I wonder where they get pants that huge? I don’t even want to think about the under garments questions…. Is there really a reason to wonder why toilet paper is sold in 48 roll packages? Those toilets have never been more occupied and busier than the last 25 years of hippo’s purging their guts daily!
There is something radically wrong with the national discussion that talks and blathers on about getting fit and eating right, while the opposite happens. People are NOT trimming down or changing their ways- they continue to buy 64 oz. drinks, eat salty, greasy, sugary, high carb foods, frankenstein GMO products, zombie carcasses or dead meat, fast foods, national chain restaurant meals, and charred black meats smothered in high fructose corn syrup based BBQ sauces full colorants and preservatives. – and then think that by running 5 miles or in place on a tread mill for 30 minutes makes it all good… Or that by merely popping the latest miracle weight loss pills will somehow magically get rid of 150 pounds of blubber in six weeks, just in time for Spring Break and thong bikinis looking like rubber bands about to snap! Just how stupid is everyone? Even the first Lady who is touting a healthy school meal program, is a wide-assed swamp-cow herself who eats gourmet chef prepared meals everyday…what hypocrisy.
Don’t even get me started on Runway Fashion Models or the emaciated corpse’s that pan for duck faced photo op’s in Hollywood!
Rene,
Good rant. 2 thumbs up.
Thank you for all the work you do holding the food industry accountable! Your self transformation was as amazing as you have come to be! Thank you for sharing you knowledge and inspiring others 🙂
