EP 719 Children Taking in Alarming Levels of Toxins in Foods

Out of a growing concern for skyrocketing levels of mental health issues,violence, behavior and learning disorders in American children, an activist group, Moms Across America, commissioned testing on 21 of the country’s most popular fast food brands.  All 21 were tested for the most widely used herbicide in the world, glyphosate, 230 agrochemicals, 160 heavy metals and mineral content.  The top ten brands were also tested for 106 commonly used veterinary drugs and hormones, Vitamin B’s and calories.  The results are, indeed, distressing as we see that there’s too much of the bad stuff in these food products and not enough of the good stuff.  It’s important because Americans eat 85 million fast food meals a day and, while little known, fast food brands are suppliers of many school lunches.  To discuss the findings is Zen Honeycutt, the Founding Executive Director of Moms Across America.
