And when you look behind the scenes, you find out they're being manipulated by big industry. They're getting money from these chemical and food companies. And they're really just PR spokespeople for these food companies to continue operating by selling us food that is truly harming our health.
And so once you recognize those two pieces of the puzzle, you kind of understand, wait a minute, so food's not regulated. The information I'm getting being told is being manipulated by the food company so it benefits them.
not me and my health you start to realize the only thing that you can do is to take control of your health and understand what you're putting in your body and once you understand that you start reading ingredient labels and then you go aha i get it i understand why i need to eat real food
Oh, you hit on a sore subject for me, cereal.
Yeah, definitely. One of the most unethical companies out there right now is Kellogg's. It's a company that back in 2015, they said that they would remove artificial food dyes for children in all their cereals. And they said they'd do it by 2018. And I wondered at the time why it was going to take them three years to do it because they were already selling
Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks and all of their famous cereals overseas without artificial food dyes. And it wasn't like they had to reinvent the formula or come up with a new recipe or anything like that or invent a new way to make something blue or red. they're already doing this to avoid a warning label that Europe requires.
It says may cause adverse effects on activity and attention in children when a product has an artificial food dye. So they're avoiding that warning label. So they know this affects children's health. So, completely unethical. They already know how to make the products better and safer, and they're not doing it for their own citizens.
So, not only did they not do it by 2018, it's now 2020, and they've invented four new cereals with artificial food dyes, a whole line of waffles with artificial food dyes, directly targeting children, directly targeting toddlers. You know, I have a toddler at home. You know, I have a three-year-old, and she loves that song, Baby Shark.
And, of course, they come out with a Baby Shark cereal full of artificial food dyes. I actually started a petition. If anyone's watching this, you can go sign it. It's foodbabe.com slash baby shark to finally get Kellogg's to sign. to uphold their commitment to remove artificial food dyes and to stop making these new products that are harming our children.
They're coming out with these products in the middle of a pandemic. We're in a situation right now where we need to take our health very seriously. If anything about the world's events today show you is that government is not going to save us. We need to save ourselves. And so and we're going to have to save our kids and we're going to have to save our families.
And so we have the responsibility to learn about these chemicals in food and make a choice and not make a choice not to, you know, obviously buy these products and support these companies and vote with our dollars.
But we're up against a mega PR campaign too against our health. And I'll just give you the example of Kellogg's. We'll just go on this one. When they came out with their new waffles, there was press up the wazoo. Every single mainstream media outlet reported on the fact that Kellogg's has created this new unicorn mermaid waffles for kids, right?
But when my friend who was very famous, you know him too, Jesse Itzler, the husband of Sarah Blakely, one of the billionaire women in this world that owns Spanx, He challenged the CEO of Kellogg's to a $100,000 live 15-minute interview on Instagram. He said he'd give $100,000 to any charity of the CEO of Kellogg's choice. And not a single media report on this. Not one single...
anything, but you watch the mainstream media report on all sorts of garbage and not interesting news, but this is like real news that could affect children's health and a debate or even an interview about these new products that they've created and no one's challenging these companies. And it's just, you know, we're in a really sad situation.
They announced a lot of things that they say they're going to do and I haven't seen it done yet. So I'll believe it when I see it for sure. You definitely, and that's another thing. There's this assumption when these companies announce these changes that they're going to actually go ahead with them.
A lot of times they change leadership or they realize that, oh, they'll lose too much money or, oh, people suddenly don't care about this issue anymore because it's not a hot button topic in the media anymore.
The glyphosate issue was a very hot-button topic because of a bunch of different reports that the Environmental Working Group put out about glyphosate in food and the GMO debate at the government level. But once those issues became less important or people forgot about them, these companies think they can get away with murder.
This is in your mailbox at home, Mark.
Yeah. All great questions. So in the first 55 pages of food, big kitchen, I actually show you how to read labels, take you through every grocery store aisle so that you can stock your kitchen like a food, babe. And, um, everything from how do you prepare your foods to how you warm them up and everything is in this book at the beginning.
And then, you know, of course, a hundred plus recipes with color photos for each one. So, um, Just so excited to have this book out and so happy. I know you've written many cookbooks, Mark, and this is my first one. So it's the first of many, though, because I've definitely got more recipes in me.
