    What You Need to Know About Food Labels

    March 12, 2020

    It is National Nutrition Month and this week I want to share with you some insight on what you need to know about food labels. The confusing and bureaucratic-filled process by which the United States came to pass our food labeling system is overwhelming – and a topic for another blog post. However, just know the United States Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services are required to revisit the guidelines every five years. These two government agencies appoint a joint committee, review research, and determine the final design and text. The lobbyist for organizations such as the Grocery Manufacturers of America; the American Society for…

    Are You Eating Bioengineered Food?

    May 18, 2018

    In the United States, I feel I have a right to know what is in our food supply and how our food is grown. Global food policy research conducted by the Center for Food Safety confirms that 64 countries, including member nations of the European Union, Russia, China, Brazil, Australia, Turkey and South Africa require standards of mandatory GE food labeling. The United States is NOT included on the list of governments providing open, accurate information on the source of foods on grocery shelves. Hence, why I am such a supporter of GMO (genetically modified organisms) labeling. As the spread of commercialized genetically engineered food products increase, the number of…

    7 Day Eliminate Processed Foods Challenge

    May 12, 2017

    I started this food blog because                 I LOVE food.                 I love cooking food,                eating food and                shopping for food. I think my lust for this necessity of life, has led me down a path of occasional laziness. Yes, even foodies can be lazy sometimes.   Partially to blame for my laziness is the evil, PROCESSED FOOD INDUSTRY.   The Food & Drug Administration has determined processed foods as being:     a. Anything that has been modified from its raw form     b. Any substance has been added to the food, such as sodium-containing additives, which makes the product less healthy. Shocking Facts about Processed Foods More…
