You know the sayings “you are what you eat” and “abs are made in the gym and revealed in the kitchen? » Well, it's hard for people to realize what they're actually eating or what they're cooking in the kitchen if they don't understand how their food is produced. Most so-called "healthy foods" offered at local grocery stores are nutritionally deficient and full of chemicals, pesticides, and additives that disrupt your hormonal balance. Even though companies and lobbyists don't want consumers to know what's in them or how they're produced, we need more transparent food labels so people know what they're putting in their bodies.
