Hi all, I try not to be preachy in my La la land of Desserts, but this Ted Talks video was so captivating, jaw-dropping, and mind-boggling, that it completely changed the way that I view food in America. While I eat desserts every day, I still promote eating real food with all natural ingredients. For example, a cupcake with real butter, sugar, and flour is a thousand times better than a packaged dessert with an unending list of preservatives, chemicals, and artificial colors. If you wonder about Allergies, Obesity, Diabetes, Autism, and Cancer rates, then watch this video.
What can you do to protect yourself and family? Click here to sign a petition to have the FDA label foods that have GMOs in them so that you are not shopping in the dark anymore. In the meantime, buy organic when you can or shop at stores like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods that try to carry as few items with GMOs as possible!
I, too, am a firm believer in eating real foods and promoting sustainable living. The first thing we can do is to purchase real food and get as much of the processed foods out of our diet and out of our grocery bags. As more and more people choose to eat real food, the food industry and government will have to start listening to consumers. And what’s even better is that we’ll all be living a healthier lifestyle and will protect our earth! Thanks for featuring the video DD!
