From rotisserie chickens to Campbell’s soup scandals, food prices and trust are on the line. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, aka The Food Professor, breaks down what Canadians can expect in the upcoming 2024 Food Price Report—and how changing habits, costs, and controversy are shaping how we shop.

Sylvain unpacks grocery store psychology, rising frugality, and why people are cutting back on meat—not quitting, just pivoting. He also addresses the chaos around Campbell’s and what happens when executives make headlines for all the wrong reasons. With insight on consumer sentiment, ultra-processed foods, and the myths behind meat alternatives, this episode tackles what’s in your cart and why it matters.

Real food. Real questions. And a lot of food for thought.
