For Melanie, it's the additives that don't cause an immediate health effect that are the most concerning.
The current system has let in additives that took the FDA years to ban, 600.
flavoring ingredients were allowed that turned out to be carcinogenic, like ethyl acrylate, a synthetic flavoring used to mimic the aroma of pineapples and kiwis.
partially hydrogenated oils were allowed for decades until the FDA revoked their grass status and said that removing them could prevent thousands of heart attacks and deaths each year.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the head of Health and Human Services, which oversees the FDA, has actually proposed closing the grass loophole, though maybe not for the exact same reasons as Melanie.
The White House is reviewing the idea.
And there's also a draft of a bill in Congress that would actually require mandatory grass notices.
But people like Melanie argue it would actually broaden what is considered generally recognized as safe and possibly allow more chemicals to slip in.
Carol Reedy, who consumed terra flower, thinks the current grass system is already too broad.
She lost an organ because of it.
A lot of people say that you don't need a gallbladder, but not having a gallbladder now, I would argue the contrary.
You miss your gallbladder.
Girl, you have no idea.
Everything is just messy and harder for me.
Famously, some people who lose their gallbladders can't eat fatty foods like meat or cheese or avocado.
Carol sees a functional health coach and takes a ton of doctor-recommended supplements to help her digest.
And she says her diet is really restricted now, and she can't even have any fun snacks.
Not much.
Not much.
It's like rice cakes, you know?
