Dr. David Ludwig, of Optimal Weight for Life Program in Boston says ,
“…processed foods are, “fake foods made in factories, loaded with artificial ingredients and calories.”
Dr. Ludwig frequently visits schools to educate kids on ‘Food Label Literacy,’ and points to processed foods as the primary reason that so many of us are unhealthy and overweight.
He constantly reminds kids that, “real foods come from nature.”
We as the parents need to follow up with sensible “kiddo -infos for real foods” with wise choices at the family table and in lunch boxes
Melanie Warner, author of “Pandora’s Lunchbox states:
” 5,000 different additives are allowed in our food – that we know of.”
She writes, “the FDA doesn’t actually know how many additives are going into our food.
This is in part because regulations are not only self-regulatory — so the food industry is doing the testing — but it’s also voluntary.
The ingredient companies don’t actually have to tell the FDA about a new ingredient.
If they choose to, they can simply just launch it into the market.
The FDA doesn’t know about them, and nobody else really knows about them.”
What happened to real food without all the additives and genuinely cooked freshly at home for our family tables?
