Squeeze your own so you know what's in it.
"... Do I really need to have HFCS in my whole-grain bread? ..."
Harder, but find a better baker.
"... It's just depressing to see some juice at the grocery store that sounds like an interesting blend of fruit flavors only to realize that the first ingredient on the list is sugar. I mean how many people are actually reading those labels? They are probably buying those bottles of juice thinking that it's somehow more 'healthy' than drinking soda, only to be deceived by the juice companies. ..."
Look I agree. What's not happening is transparency in food processing. That's why I try to remove the processing out of my food. Am I 100% successful, no. But by buying the raw ingredients and cooking them up myself I can attempt to avoid this problem.
Of course the next bit is knowing sovereignty of fruit and vegetables. But that's another problem. I guess as a consumer we can vote with our dollars to make a difference here.
- pyre 17y agoI really think that we need to bring this issue to the fore-front rather than this 'vote with your dollar' stuff. I'm not in favor of government intervention per-se, but eliminating any government subsidies that promote usage of additives could be on the docket. "Vote with your dollar," doesn't really work as a solution unless you reach a critical mass of people that are willing to vote with their dollar. Raising awareness is also a crucial step.
