What if the same companies that got America hooked on cigarettes are now controlling what's on your dinner plate?

In this eye-opening episode of The Holistic Kids Show, hosts Zane, Emad, and Ca sit down with Patrick Sullivan Jr. and Ashley Leroux Sullivan — husband-and-wife team and executive producers of the groundbreaking documentary Breaking Big Food: How the American Food System Went Rotten, and How It's Being Revived (now streaming on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video).

Together, they unpack:

☕ The dirty secret in your coffee cup — Why most commercial coffee is loaded with mold, mycotoxins, and glyphosate — and what to look for when choosing a clean cup.

🏥 Patrick's thyroid cancer wake-up call — How a cancer diagnosis at 38 led the couple on a journey to understand the four pillars of health: food, stress, sleep, and movement.

🌱 How kids can fight back — Practical steps young people can take right now, from ditching Lunchables to learning to cook and getting closer to their food.

🐔 From documentary to farmers market — How Ashley and Patrick opened Firefly Organic Coffee & Market in Scottsdale, Arizona, and why sourcing third-party tested, organic, mold-free coffee changed everything.

Key Stats from the Episode:

• The US makes up 4% of the world's population but accounts for 75% of global pharmaceutical profits

• The US currently ranks 49th in life expectancy

• Nearly 70% of the food Americans eat is ultra-processed

Whether you're a kid, a parent, or just someone trying to eat better in a world designed to keep you hooked — this episode is a must-listen.
