From deceptive food labels to economic alarm bells, Tara peels back the layers on today’s most pressing issues. Kicking off with a viral TikTok exposing how companies like McDonald's manipulate language to sell products “made with 100% beef” (but not made of it), she dives into the subtle tricks used in food marketing—and the childhood nostalgia those nuggets once held.
