Americans are consuming more food additives and preservatives than ever before and our health is the worst it's ever been. As a nation, 60% of our food purchases now contain these chemical substances that are used to stretch shelf life and make our food look and taste more appealing. The ultra-processed food companies LOVE when we don't read food labels, but I know you aren't one of those people :)
Tune into this conversation to learn more about specific food additives to watch out for and some key principles to employ at the grocery store to avoid this these chemical toxins (it's wayyy easier than memorizing a whole list of food additives). Let's chat about how to make better swaps for yourself and your family, along with discussing the way God designed food to be perishable. We look to the example of God's provision of manna for the Israelites and what that tells us about God's perfect design!
