Did you know that Canadian Froot Loops are colored with watermelon, carrot, and blueberry juice, turmeric, and other natural sources, while American Froot Loops contain Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Blue 1?? Kellogg's seems to have no issue filling American children with health-altering chemicals when they make the exact product with better ingredients for other countries. So is it time to vote differently with your dollar and improve the health of your family?
The Kellogg's boycott is a hot cultural conversation in the nutrition world right now, as tons of big-name influencers and activists are taking a stand against their use of BHT and artificial food dyes in kid-centric cereals.
Join me for a conversation on where this all began, what to consider for your own family, some great alternatives (both whole food and cereal aisle options) if you want to ditch the Froot Loops, and some key considerations on how God fits into the picture of your food decisions.
