I’ll have the chips with a side of chemicals please, thanks🙄

So I did a little research and it come to find out that there are more than 10,000 chemicals that can be found in American food and that the DEA has not the DEA but the Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated those chemicals in decades which I find very problematic and concerning. So I am on a mission to avoid as much chemical intake as I can

One daughter has ulcerative colitis and the other has Crohn's. Now, my husband does have Crohn's, but it was less common 40 years ago. And now my nephew even has irritable bowel syndrome, which may progress, who knows? And my grandchildren both have asthma and excessive allergies and upset stomachs all the time. And I know that. As for my grandchildren, they probably have never eaten as well as, say, we did as children where we were eating more natural things

But I'm not really sure how to facilitate that change. But I am definitely hopefully wishing that some change comes about. As far as your family and their bowel issues, I do know that a lot of the foods that we eat have inflammatory oils in them or synthetic oils which cause inflammation

And they had an upset stomach today, which is Monday. And you could just see the difference when you eat good versus when you eat a lot of chemicals and preservatives and over processed food. It really harms the body. So it's just mind blowing, honestly. But thank you again

Hey, doll. Thanks for responding to my swell. And yes, it is definitely mind blowing. And I wish you luck in navigating this food disaster that we have. Like you said, all you can do is your best. Just try to read your labels and get the most natural, unprocessed food as you can. Thanks again. Have a good one
