We did it! Congratulations Food Babe Army! The Food Babe Way is officially a New York Times Best Seller!
I am astonished by all your support and generous love. I am humbled and forever grateful for every single person that is reading this book, leaving their reviews, spreading the word and getting this message out.
This is a big deal and I can’t thank you enough for all your support.
Making the NYT’s list means our message will finally be getting out to the masses in a big bold way! This book won’t be relegated to the back of bookstores everywhere, it will be up front and center, growing our movement faster than ever! I know we can change our health, the food system and the world together by spreading the information & research in this book.
During my book tour this past week, I met so many people that just don’t read blogs. They are picking this book up curious and inspired to change their lives. And there are people that only read books that are “best sellers”, and they too will now be more likely to pick up a copy.
I had some incredible Costco book signing events this week. For example, at one Costco, there was a huge sign explaining organic food above my head and my petition video (discussing the controversial additive BHT in Kellogg’s & General Mills cereal) was playing behind me on a big flat screen TV as I met readers and members of the Food Babe Army. Just a few rows over, they were selling the cereal I was warning people about! It was quite a sight to see. This is what spreading the message looks like and it is happening so fast. I’m so happy to have you along for the ride.
I wish I could share all the incredible personal stories I have heard this week with you – the ones from people who say they don’t eat Kraft Mac & Cheese anymore, and the ones that stopped their daily Subway sandwich habit, or gave up GMOs or processed additive-filled food, and have started to feel a level of health they never thought was possible. I wish I could video tape everything that’s happening – because hearing your stories is what this is all about! This is why I quit my corporate career to become a food activist full time and I’m so incredibly grateful to be here with you in this revolutionary time!
In light of all of this, I thought it would be so motivating and inspiring to hear even more of your stories. I want everyone to see them and hear them to inspire even more people, so we can all learn and teach each other what is possible when you start to learn about what’s really in your food.
Let’s share our stories in video with each other! I want to ask you one simple question…

congratulations on your book. I knew you could do it. Thank you for making a change.
I want to say after discovering you on the doctors one day, mine and my family’s life has completely changed, We went from being clueless to what was in our food to, being very careful on what we buy. It is an incredible change. Thank you food babe
Vani, Awesome! and congrats!.
I wrote a novel (my first one) about a story that came out of nowhere and, I’m not even a writer!.
I started typing away and this incredible story just kept unpacking and expanding on me….whew!. So, now, I’m getting educated on publishing and the different aspects of it / costs, etc.
This story, if made into a book and possible a motion picture would completely blow away some of the past action, romance & mysteries that have been filmed.
Keep up the good work!.
We knew you would do good, you always do. Glad for you. Your book will change many lives. And now its out there. I bet it goes up to number 1
We cannot be fooled into thinking our politians and country will take care of us. Quite the contrary. It is people like you who are driven to expose the truths and stores like Whole Foods that act as our watch dog. Forever grateful! pS. Kraft just bought Annies. Lets hope they maintain its integrity!
I thought General Mill’s bought Annie’s or did Kraft buy Annie’s now from General Mills?
Woohoo! Way to go Vani! I am so proud of you! Keep up the great work!
Congratulations!! It is dedicated people like you that improve the world and the lives of society within it. I had order your book on Amazon via Kindle ebooks and have started reading it recently. Don’t stop doing what you are doing…I enjoy reading your e-newsletters too. Everyday you should feel great about what you are doing and how it effects our lives. I feel I am in great health but you inspire and motivate me to a new level. Best wishes and thank you!!
So happy for you and all of us, too! You and your teams efforts have made a + difference in our world. Thank you!!!
YAY!!!! Congrats and keep it going!! We love and support you…
Congrats Vani!Awesome job.I knew you could do it and the food tyrants are running scared.The more hate and negativity you get from Big Agra, FDA ,and all the national chains the more negligent they all look.You are waking up alot of people to the poisons and lies of the food industry.It effects us all,here and all over the world for futures to come.Congrats again!
Vani,
OMG – FANTASTIC!! (Standing Ovation…………)
I consider “The Food Babe Way” book and all your hard work behind the scenes as an “initial step” toward a “Food Revolution” that will shift the majority of People not only in the USA, but in the World – spending their $$$$$$$ finally on the Quality of Food – rather than the chemically lace additives often hidden in foods by those greedy manufactures that still fight to”not” label their toxic foods…………….then I say, keep ’em!!
But, best of all………..”We The People”, are finally standing up to put the “pitchfork” in Monsanto (aka: MonSatan), once and for all…..now let’s bring ’em down!!
I got the Kindle version and couldn’t stop reading until I finished it! It gave me hope for the future of America, maybe it is not lost after all! Thank you!
Hi Vani
I just got your book from Amazon in my mail box today. So excited to read it. Thanks for all you have done. You deserve the best sellers list. You have worked very hard.
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !
you are leading the way to a healthy world….
What can I say except that I’m thrilled for you and America.
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Vani!!! You are AMAZING!! I’m so grateful for your courage and strength to go after the truth about our food and share it with the world! A movement has begun and there’s no stopping us now! Thank you for being our champion! Please come to Atlanta…I’d love to meet you! You’re book is awesome…can’t put it down!
Awesome!!! Thank you Vani for sharing and making valuable information available. Received my copy of The Food Babe Way from Amazon. Congratulations and much success to you and your team!
Foos Babe (Vani),
I never buy books from these “self help” authors but you are so different. You have a purpose, you care and you have experienced what your mean. In other words you “walk the walk” & “talk the talk” ! I just received your book!!!!!
Can’t wait to read it and prosper from it.
All the best!
Jay
I am so stoked for you! Congratulations…and I am having your book delivered today 🙂
Thank you for sharing your hard earned work and knowledge with others. Hopefully it will spread like wildfire through word of mouth and your putting it out there!! Way to go to help others arm themselves from the poison in the majority of our foods 🙁
Be careful..corporate America will not be pleased. But I’m in awe
Thanks much
Have my copy and enjoying it very much. Great to have all this carefully researched information in one place.
Vani’s mission is helping us…and even more so our children. As a Brit raising 2 girls in the US the food supply here has been worrying me for some time and I’ve been buying organic since I got here (because that’s what I was used to). My American husband’s initial concerns have melted away as he has become more educated about what is going on over here. Now he insists on his organic bacon despite the higher cost! He’s tasting food that is better and sticking with it.
Let’s give a shout out to all the food activists, Vani included, who have been doing such great work to change things. Woot!
Sarah
hi Vani,
I am very grateful for your hard work and diligence in exposing food manufacturers. I wanted to share with you my response from my senator and my reply to him. ..
Dear Senator Vitter,
Thank you for your timely reply.
As an educated mother and grandmother I have serious questions for you to consider.
Would and do you feed your loved ones fake food? Do you think it is of the human body’s best interest to partake in chemicals implanted in seeds? Are you aware that the European nation does not authenticate GMO products? Can you, in good conscience, believe GMO labeling is wrong? Do you concur in feeding Americans GMO products in secret? Has it occurred to you, WHY America has an obesity epidemic, and that it may not be from overeating and lack of exercise, but the dead food and chemicals in our food supply? Are you aware that crops that have been infected with GMO’s cannot replenish the nutrients in the soil nor will that soil be able to grow non-GMO infected plants ever again?
As a fellow American and registered Republican, I am disappointed in how shallow your response is. If you’ve done your own research, you know that GMO labeling is desired by majority. We have the right to know what exactly is in our foods, and that when we shop for produce, it is God-made, and not Man-manipulated.
Please take my concerns to heart, as I am sure you do not want to harm your supporters and their families, nor your own.
Regards,
Linda Barras

Dear Ms. Barras,
Thank you for contacting me in opposition to genetically engineered crops. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
As you know, many of the crops grown around the world are genetically engineered. Geneticists have developed strains of crops that possess a variety of special traits, such as the ability to produce higher yields, to better withstand agricultural pests, or to exhibit other traits that may benefit production or reduce harmful effects of pesticides.
Many have questioned the safety of genetically engineered crops. However, with the world’s population growing, specialized crops are being explored as a way to meet the world’s increasing food needs. Rest assured I will keep your thoughts in mind as the Senate considers these issues and as I continue working to support a safe and stable food supply.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about any other issue important to you.
Sincerely,
Senator David Vitter
United States Senator
P.S. Please visit my website to sign up for E-Updates and receive regular email updates from me on the issues important to Louisiana families.
I bought your book and I am thrilled that you are spreading the word about how horrible our food supply has gotten. We mostly cook our own meals so that we know what we’re putting into our bodies.
We used to eat at Subway, thinking that it was healthy but then decided that it wasn’t! They should be ashamed!!
I saw the 1 star ratings on Amazon and knew that they were fake reviews. Vani, they are intimidated by you because they know that sales food products will drop when people learn the truth about what goes into our food supply. I think the 5 star reviews will trump those fake 1 star reviews!!
I am so super proud of you!! Sending hugs your way. XO
Yay!!!!! This is so exciting! You are my hero foodbabe! #foodbabearmy let’s get this done! You are giving power to the people. I have stopped supporting the mainstream garbage for awhile now and still cannot believe that I can just about get all of my organic groceries at Walmart now. Insane. Just 5 yrs ago I had to drive farther away to a specialty store to get this same food. We can change the food industry…everyone needs to just stop buying their CRAP food! Thank you for your work and again CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats:) on your book and being on the NY Times Best Seller list. All your hard work will continue to pay off by way of helping others as you have worked so diligently to do. Blessings to you and your staff.
Congratulations, Vani. First heard you on The Alex Jones Show and it was a great interview about beer additives. I’m a HUGE craft beer lover and you really opened my eyes to pick only the best of the best. You really are an original with incredible ingenious ways to capture the zeitgeist! Keep up the good work and thank you for your efforts to make this world a better place. You’ve already succeeded!
We should all make our congress elected goverment offcials stand up and be responsible for the food we feed our families.
Congratulations on your book making the NY Times bestseller list! How exciting that your message is reaching so many people. I started reading your blog and e-mails about a year ago and I have learned things about the foods we were eating and how unhealthy and toxic they were.
I have been purchasing organic only (for the most part) and, since my children are grown, have been making better food choices for the both of us. I’ve also started to change my health and beauty items to healthier items. I make my own organic bath & shower wash, hand soap, and many other things. Some I buy and some I make. Thank you for your efforts to convince me to change my habits. I am looking forward to reading your book to become healthy again. I have many health problems that are due to Fibromyalgia. I am looking forward to the day when I feel better more days than I don’t, and to get off the medication that I take for my multiple symptoms. Thanks again for your activism to help me and many many others!
I can’t believe you did it! A book on the NY Times best seller list about exposing huge companies….and by fighting potential fears and others negativity. I am so proud and very very impressed with your tenacity. One person truly can make a difference. I pre ordered your book as soon as you announced it. Honestly, I don’t eat packaged foods or go to fast food restaurants or even chains. But I knew I needed to know more and to find a way to explain it to my friends without looking like a California health nut. Plus, I had no idea all that crap was added to beer. Thank you thank you for truly enhancing my life and most likely prolonging it along with all of your fans. My only regret as that you weren’t around much sooner.
I’m so excited about what this means. I long for the day when the FDA and food/health/ beauty companies won’t be slowly poisoning the masses. My cowork just told me this morning that she will be out from work because she’s got cancer and is starting treatment next Monday. 1 in 3 people will get cancer in their lifetime. Many of these toxins commonly found in the foods sold in the US have been shown to cause cancer in lab rats, but they are approved for us to eat. A lot of people don’t know that, but because of the work you are doing, they now will. Knowledge is power. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I see lots of good changes coming.
Thanks for using your influence to make changes, one small step at a time. Now it’s up to us to refuse to buy the poisonous diet that is offered here in the U. S. Let the grocer’s associations spend millions on their campaigns to stop GMO labeling. With the information you share, we don’t need them any more. In their greed they have forgotten what makes them profitable: their customers. Their comeuppance is handwriting on the wall.
Congrats on the book release! I flipped through it at my job the other day: well done! It’s nice to see someone so incredibly passionate about changing the food system!
I was curious if you saw that General Mills recently invited a bunch of bloggers to “share their concerns” about GMOs, additives, etc – and of course made them sign NDAs so they can’t share GMs response with their readers. Just more media stunts to try to cover up the truth! Keep spreading that truth!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND THE FOOD BABE TEAM!!! You are right where you belong…at the top! We knew the book would be a success because IT IS THE TRUTH! We love you Vani and all that you and your team stand for! Enjoy where you are right now because you are in the right place for all the right reasons…and keep fighting for the good health of our people. Hugs!
Congrats! Vani! and Food Babe team!! Thank you for all you are doing to help humanity! Xo

Congratulations, Vani!! I love your spunk. It’s going to get bumpy, I suspect, but you’ve got a whole lot of people watching your back!
When Monsanto unleashes their PR machinery, you know you’ve got their attention. They’ve got a website that they are pitching all over the likes of Pandora, and they’ve got their peeps on the airwaves referencing a “very vocal fringe.”
This issue involves all of us (especially those of us who shop for food or cook or eat) every hour of the day. That’s hardly “fringe.”
They have a beautiful website and they have co-opted buzzwords … sustainability, soil … classic PR maneuver. Insults and condescension make them look bad in the press. It’s all starting to feel like the work of one Frank Luntz.
The battle of image has now begun.
Let them eat smoke and mirrors.
I am so happy for you Vani congrats you did it! and I knew you could because of your determination to free society from corporate greed in the food industry. Now that you have reached your goal its only a matter of time now before the major corporations start changing their policies by not adding poison into our food supply by putting money before people because your book shows just how corrupted the food in the US is and how other countries are more healthier . Vani now that you have exposed the Monsanto agents of destruction and informed the public about their food it will make a great impact on society. Thanks for bringing hope back to this country Vani Love U! GOD BLESS
OMG… OMG… OMG!!!!! U R STUPENDOUS!!! YOU DESERVE THE ALCOLADES YOU RECEIVE!! YOU ARE THE QUEEN BEE AND WE ARE YOUR HUMBLE WORKERS… WITHOUT YOU THERE WOULD NOT BEE AN ARMY!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!
XO&PURRS, KAT
EXPECT A MIRACLE
Hey Vani!
You should go after the pharmaceutical companies next!!!!!
I heard that many children are now on Ritalin and mood stabilizer drugs and even heard about a new born baby being put on Ritalin because they kept crying!! I do not understand why parents put their kids on this horrible drug. That is lazy parenting!!!
Most kids have behavior problems from the garbage foods that their parents and schools are feeding them!
God help us all.
So much love to you! You are truly an inspiration. I may have to stand outside of the Starbucks headquarters here in Seattle and petition for you! Their behavior saddens me. I would like to think I live in a more health savvy city. I mean, come on, the Institute for Functional Medicine is right here! Something needs to be done.
Congrats on your success. Lots of love to you.
Warmly,
Rebecca
Do you know if any discounts are offered for buying your book in bulk? I’m contemplating giving one to each of my health coaching clients!
Dear Vani,
Request you to please post a review on Cookware as I heard Non-Stick and Aluminium are worst materials to use. Are Clay pots the best as it recommended in other countries or do you recommend Stainless steel, cast iron, etc? As there are many manufacturers who do not provide detail toxic information about their product, I request you to please research on this and let us know. Cookware is the important part of our daily life and choosing the correct one is very important. Thank you very much.
I read that during British rule in other country, they used to cook and serve in Aluminium cookware so prisoners would die fast.
I plan on buying this book very soon. I usually don’t buy books written by self-help authors but I know from reading all of the reviews that your book is different.
I just joined your blog recently after getting a diagnosis of RA and going on a new health plan. I am becoming more and more aware of the “food world” around me. It is overwhelming. Thank you for being on the front of the effort to give us, the consumers, a more healthy and nutritious world.
I will be going out very soon to get my book!
Much love and congratulations, Vani! I don’t know anyone more deserving. The Food Babe Way needs to be translated to the other major languages to go viral worldwide! Then the Junk Food Cult will truly learn what real problems they’re up against – relentlessly attack their bottom-line profits with extreme prejudice.
CONGRATS VANI!!!!!,
I have received my two copies of your book and gleefully sent the other to my Sis! What a GREAT READ!!! The fact that you are soooooooo passionate about trying to CLEAN UP this totally CORRUPT world is endearing!!!! That is WHY myself and the rest of The Food Babe Army are standing behind you, because you give a damn and you are determined to get things done (Unlike our PATHETIC government agencies who are bought and paid for by the Chemical companies!). The more people we can teach the truth to the more SCARED they will get and the more they will try to ASSASSINATE your CHARACTER and throw their typical troll words around like “Fear Mongerer”, “Spreading Lies”, “Not a Scientist-Unlearned” etc……. But we ALL KNOW BETTER, which is WHY this is getting sooooooo big that soon they WILL NOT be able to CONTAIN US!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! Keep up the hard work and just know that the TRUTH shall set us FREE!!!! 🙂
Congratulations Vani you deserve nothing but happiness, great health & much success. Thank you for all that do. I will do my part to help spread your wisdom by purchasing your book for many of my loved ones.
Here is our submission for the #FOODBABEWAY video contest. Thanks for all you do Vani! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=693369920772000
Saw your recipe for making your own butter. Id love to do this as I use a LOT of it! The ingredients you list call for cream and sea salt. In the instructions there is no mention of the sea salt – when or how much to use! Just processing the cream for 10 minutes, rinsing with cold water, and squeezing out the water. Is it added to the cream at the beginning in the food processor or what?
Would appreciate clarification. Thanks much!
Here is our #FoodBabeWay video entry. Go Food Babe Army! http://youtu.be/Ie73ZX11NYQ
Hi Vani,
I read about you on Alexander Heyne’s website (ModernHealthMonk.com) and went out and bought your book that day. I’ve finished about half of it so far. I can’t put it down! I knew the evils of processed food, but still had something like Chik-Fil-A once in a blue moon. After reading this, I don’t even think having it once a year is even worth it. I went to Starbucks one morning wanting to buy my crew some goodies since it snowed, but I thought about your book and thought to myself it just wasn’t worth it, so I turned around in the parking lot and continued on into work. And it felt great not wasting my money on junk, and not putting that in my body – even for the occasional treat. Thanks! I hope your book really sparks the food industry and our government to finally do something about our food supply!
Congrats on being NY Times Best Seller! I’m not surprised, your book is excellent! It was very well written and organized beautifully! I sincerely appreciate your bravery standing up against these unethical bullying corporations and telling us and all humans what they really need to know; and offering easy doable solutions to everyday meals and drinks! And thank you for doing this contest, the prizes are incredible! Best wishes and blessings to you and your family~! #FoodBabeWay http://youtu.be/yd8K-qhX3IE
Food babe, great work here, i notice you will like to read this book by Anthony Colpo, very good and important info
The notion that cholesterol and saturated fat cause heart disease is one of the most fundamental tenets of modern medicine. It is also completely false. In The Great Cholesterol Con you will learn that:
Heart disease is not caused by saturated fat nor elevated blood cholesterol;
People with low cholesterol levels live shorter lives;
Populations consuming high saturated fat diets often enjoy very low rates of heart disease;
Many dietary recommendations made by ‘experts’ to reduce heart disease have actually been shown in animal and human studies to increase heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity;
The primary force behind the anti-cholesterol paradigm is not public health, but profit!
This meticulously researched book mercilessly demolishes what may well be the biggest and most successful scam in the history of medicine. Most importantly, you’ll discover what really promotes heart disease and what you can do to prevent it!
