This is the closest I'll let my kids get to Kraft dinner and its questionable food dyes. |
I have a friend who told me one day she looked in her
grocery cart and realised that almost everything was in a box. It was a bit of
a shock for her to see it all piled together, even though she was the one who
put it there.
The environmental impact of processed foods goes beyond all
of the packaging. Food additives used in the packaged foods industry come with
their own list of concerns. From preserving agents to artificial colours and
other additives, the general consensus is that processed foods are contributing
to the explosion in chronic diseases.
The additives that concern environmental groups aren’t often
on the government’s radar so it’s up to the average Joe to figure it out.
Take Kraft Dinner, for example.
