Salt Is NOT Flavor — And It’s Destroying Your Health | Chef. Marcus Moore | Ep. 121
What if the way you cook is quietly destroying your health, and you never realized it?
In this eye-opening episode of A Healthy Point of View, Sam Tejada sits down with Chef Marcus Moore, founder of Cook By Color, to completely flip how we think about flavor, seasoning, and healthy eating.
Marcus breaks down why most seasonings on the market are toxic, why salt is NOT flavor, and how ultra-processed food systems are keeping communities sick. From his upbringing in Chicago kitchens to cooking alongside Iron Chefs, Marcus reveals how cooking by color—not recipes—unlocks better taste, better nutrition, and better health.
This conversation dives deep into:
- Why “recipes are bullshit” and creativity matters in cooking
- How color harmony creates better flavor and emotional response
- Why salt is a chemical—not food
- How minority communities are targeted with unhealthy food systems
- Why most seasonings are filled with MSG, additives, and preservatives
- How to eat clean without sacrificing flavor
- Why America’s food system would fail in Europe
- How Cook By Color is changing kitchens, culture, and health
If you care about nutrition, longevity, flavor, food freedom, and breaking generational cycles of disease, this episode will change how you see food forever.
