An excellent article, Maria. It’s ridiculous how many additives are in our food (and other products, as you’ve mentioned). And sugar in so many things!! And even worse, artificial sweeteners!! That stuff is deadly!! I noticed that they put that stuff in way more things in England than here in Canada. Things that were ridiculous and didn’t need it or there was so sugar option. I’d rather have sugar. At least it’s a natural product! Sweeteners make me sick, upset my stomach and give me migraines.

Anyway..I digress!

The point it, this is a fantastic article and a lot of people are simply unaware of the behavioural issues (never mind the health issues) that can come from eating junk food. And even some “normal” foods aren’t free from some sort of chemical misery.

It’s hard to raise kids on healthy foods when they see junk at their friends’ houses or in the lunch room at school. I know. I had five of them.

Raising awareness helps, like with this article. We have a long way to go.
