I think it is so important to create this awareness. The majority of us are not taking the time to truly educate ourselves about the foods we eat. We are a society of people looking for quick meals and convenient foods. Many of hear foods are highly processed and full of all the stuff you’re talking about here. Even those of us who think we are very aware and careful are often guilty of not truly knowing what a “bad” or “harmful” ingredient looks like. To top it all off we are feeding these food to our children at a higher rate. The statement about how our bodies are able to consume a certain amount of these chemicals until they become harmful is alarming. The fact that good producers or regulators feel that there is a tolerance level on things that quite frankly have no place in our foods at all blows me away. I know that I myself need to do a better job. Articles like this are a great step in the right direction. Education and then action.
