The Great American Food Fight: Why Ditching Chemicals Has Everyone Losing Their Minds

Less Toxic Junk, More Real Food—Why Is That So Controversial?

Why Are We Fighting Over Making America Healthy Again?

The Great Food Dye Meltdown

Seriously, folks. Why are people foaming at the mouth over the removal of food dyes and toxic sludge (I mean, "additives")? Why are they stampeding to social media, pitchforks in hand, calling names and throwing tantrums like a toddler who just got told "no more fruit snacks"? Shouldn’t we all agree that not poisoning ourselves is, oh I don’t know, a good idea? Regardless of political, religious, or economic backgrounds, one thing we should all unite over is making America healthy again. (Unless, of course, you're a fan of hospital bills and early onset everything.)

A Side of Petroleum With That?

Why wouldn’t you want additives, fillers, chemicals, and literal garbage removed from food processing? You like a side of petroleum with your mac and cheese? You prefer your cereal to glow in the dark? By all means, carry on. But for the rest of us who don’t want our meals doubling as a science experiment, this should be common sense.

Love my snarky takes on marriage, parenting, and the chaos of raising an ADHD-fueled family—while still trying to live that crunchy dream, but do not want to upgrade to paid? Help keep the laughs rolling, the sourdough rising, and the wellness wisdom flowing. Toss a few bucks my way—because organic sarcasm and real talk deserve a little funding. 😉

But What About Accessibility?

And let’s talk about accessibility—because I see the "privilege" police coming for me already. These proposed changes aren’t just for those who can afford high-end grocery stores where the cashier judges you for not bringing reusable bags. They actually benefit those with lower incomes and in food deserts. Why wouldn’t we want that? Why wouldn’t we want junk food kicked off SNAP benefits so our tax dollars stop funding diabetes? (Looking at you, subsidized candy bars.) Why wouldn’t we want our money going toward whole, real foods that actually nourish people instead of slow-killing them?
