Let’s face it, most of us were not taught how to cook, prepare meals, plan ahead or more importantly, how to go food shopping. The food industry has gotten a free pass for several generations. We rely on the FDA to protect us, but let’s face it, there are items that have become part of the food industry which are buried into the foundation of our food supply. Once these preservatives are embedded into the products, it literally takes an act of Congress to have them removed! Just compare some of these ingredients that are allowed by the FDA, yet disallowed by the EMA ( European Medicines Agency ). Our dieticians will raise awareness regarding these elements, bringing light on this huge “elephant in the room.”
