If you’ve ever been unsure on exactly counts as what, or who gets to make these decisions, this is the episode for you!

What makes a superfood so special? Are they actually good for you? Is it worth the hype? Hallie and Chris answer all these questions (and more) in this episode’s discussion of superfoods.
