Unsweetened Sio

In today's epsiode I interview Alex Trivas, who created a matching card game called "The Food Monsters" to help children and parents learn about different food additives. A writer, parent, and nutritional advocate, Alex spent over 20 years in the classroom and over 8 years on the board of Get Lit: Words Ignite ( a L.A. based teen literacy and spoken word organization that serves teenagers )  where  he saw first hand the relentless sugar and additive  assault on our children.  To combat this nutritional assault, he began to dig deep and study nutrition. He led numerous nutritional committees at schools, aiming to curb the quantity of sugar and additive laden foods  as well as to help parents and children make better decisions.  Recently he co-produced  with Matthew McConaughey’s foundation, Just Keep Livin’, a spoken word evening in Los Angeles dedicated to poetry about Type II diabetes, sugar, obesity, and teenagers. Alex received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania
