Sign Vani’s Kelloggs Petition Read Conscious Eating by Gabriel Cousens HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: You are what you digest and absorb. It’s important to understand not just what we eat and its ingredients, but how it affects our health at a deeper level. In the U.S., over 10,000 chemicals are allowed in our food, while the EU only permits 400. Many additives in U.S. foods are banned in other countries. To become informed consumers, we have to start by reading food labels and eliminating foods with unrecognizable ingredients from your pantry. 99% of chemicals created in the last 60 years have been designed to improve food companies’ bottom lines, not consumer health.
