A long overdue Western diet BAN!
Friend, I don’t shy away from the perils and pitfalls of the typical Western diet.
Millions of Americans eat processed SUGAR… CARBS… and PRESERVATIVES that do your body zero favors. And they’re linked to countless diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
But that hasn’t stopped Big Food from continuing to PUMP out the junk to boost their profit sheets.
Finally, some higher-ups of one state have come to their senses and stopped the production of some Western diet NONSENSE…
It’s news we can all get behind!
According to a report from NPR, California has become the first U.S. state to outlaw the use of FOUR potentially harmful food and drink additives.
It’s part of legislation called the California Food Safety Act—which prohibits the manufacturing, distribution and sale of food and beverages that contain the following:
- Brominated vegetable oil
- Potassium bromate
- Propylparaben
- Red dye 3 (an artificial ingredient found in candy, fruit juices, cookies and more)
Those additives have been linked an increased risk of cancer—and are already banned in dozens of countries.
There’s not a single, NATURAL thing in any of those, so this move deserves a round of applause.
However, the law doesn’t mean anything that CONTAINS these ingredients will suddenly be pulled from the shelves of your local grocery stores (though I wouldn’t be against it).
According to the report, it means that manufacturers will have to “tweak” their recipes with healthier ingredients.
I hope that doesn’t mean more lab-concocted additives, but time will tell.
In the meantime, you don’t need a state law to enforce healthy eating.
Paleo and Mediterranean “diets” and lifestyles are no-nonsense, practical ways to eat healthy, natural foods without any processed junk.
Not to mention, they don’t have a single one of these latest, “banned” ingredients!
