From Minivan to Movement: How Moms Across America Is Reshaping the Food System
Zen Honeycutt shares the moment she chose to stop waiting for others to lead—and became the driving force behind a food revolution.
In this episode of Solving America’s Problems, we meet the unstoppable founder of Moms Across America, Zen Honeycutt. What started as personal heartbreak and health challenges turned into a sweeping national movement that’s reshaped food policy, family health, and the marketplace itself.
Zen walks us through losing the fight for California’s Prop 37 and how that moment in her minivan—crying, defeated—sparked a fire that mobilized thousands of moms, transformed 4th of July parades into GMO protests, and helped drive organic sales from $20 billion to over $70 billion.
Whether you're a parent, activist, or simply a curious eater, this episode will move you to think differently about what’s on your plate—and who really holds the power to create change.
