The singer/songwriter Maggie is late to the game on Where to shop multiple brands on one site The budget category Jacey is most likely to blow Our favorite foodie dishes

Can I quote you on that?

"We grew up hearing 'you're special; you can do anything,' and the reality is we didn't see that unfold." - Maggie "We're not putting our worth - our self worth and our financial resources - in things; we're putting them in experiences." - Maggie "A population of experts, which we've sort of become, can lead to some seriously poor decision making when it comes to our health." - Maggie "Some of the very popular nutrition trends and fads are not based in fact; they're based in a lot of personal experience." - Maggie "Economically, the value we place on being foodies and being elite in our taste - the industry has responded and they know that they can charge more by putting 'artisanal' in front of it." - Jacey "Obviously that gourmet burger is better than anything you could get at McDonald's. But sometimes, it's 12:00 at night, you're hungry and McDonald's is open." - Maggie
