How food companies fool consumers with food coloring ingredients made from petrochemicals

gosh, who here hasnt eaten chocolate covered bugs? or deep fried grasshoppers? protein people protein.!

i think i would rather eat food colored by bug stuff then food colored by coal.

i have read a few books that have opened my eyes. and since then have slowly slowed down or stopped some foods. organical only yogurt. once in a great while my kids get the "orange" or "strawberry" colored drinks....but none of those gogurt squeezing things.

i have started to switch to organic cereals and chips. and only oatmeal that you have to cook. no more buying quaker oatmeal. we have a few more boxes to use and then it is either the real thing, or the mom's best

my kids love mac n cheese...but i have switched them to the velveeta shells n cups. it isnt that great but better than the powdered flavored chemical laden cheese in mac n cheese.

and nesquik instead of hershey's....nesquik does not have high fructose in it. and i can tell the difference in my kids when they have nesquik.

Well I did not know that some of my fresh fruits are being dipped in food coloring. Does anyone know how to tell?

See, I hated yogurt my whole life until a couple or so years ago when I found out there were more options than that candy in a cup stuff. It tasted right like someone had dumped candy into sour milk. I buy plain Greek yogurt and add my own honey and fruit. I also don't understand the appeal of neon orange cheese. Given a choice, I buy the uncolored white cheese. My mac & cheese freaks some people out-- "There's no cheese in there! It's white!" and yet my mac & cheese is often the life of the party once people get past the non-orangeyness of it.

I'm no food snob, but I can't be the only person who is kind of turned off by neon colored foods.

Do you have a recipe for your Mac & Cheese??

Ewwww. I have willingly eaten bugs when I lived in Africa but I'd prefer to know & make the choice on my own. YUCK! It should not be so difficult to know what's really in our food! Thanks for sharing this.

Probably not the best idea to read this while eating dinner... But at least I've never eat bug yogurt nor ever gave it to Cara!

Thanks for posting this. Like Heidi, I'm interested in knowing if there's a way to tell about the produce or if there is anything we can do short of buying all our produce from local farmer's markets.
