21: Chemicals, GMO's, Food and Health - with Moms Across America
Manage episode 450435056 series 3584572
Zen Honeycutt is the founder and director of Moms Across America, and she kindly joins me as my first international guest for this episode.
One of the listeners brought my attention to a report by Moms Across America, which was around the testing of gluten-free products to see how much gluten and/or toxins were present. That article is here: https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/gluten_free_food_test_results
It's well documented that chemicals, plastics and other toxins are responsible for an entire host of health issues, but rarely is it traced back to food, and rarer still is it circulated and spoken about.
As Zen explains in this episode, it's usually the mothers ('Moms' for our US readers!) who figure out these problems, and then push to find answers.
This is only one small part of other, broader conversations that need to be had around agri-culture in regards to soil/plant/animal/food/human health (episode 17 and 19 for related listening), but the more we learn and understand, the better equipped we are to make decisions on what we buy, how it's grown, and what kind of health we are willing to settle for, and secure for our kids, and theirs.
