After watching Tucker Carlson's interview with Dr. Casey Means and then reading her book (ok my husband read it but he read so many passages of it out loud to me that I feel like I read it too), we have been completely turned around in teh whole processed food debacle. I love love love the idea of RFK Jr. coming in and fixing our horribly broken, poisonous food system.

Side note - if you don't have the app Yuka, I highly recommend downloading it. We went through the supermarket and scanned a bunch of foods with it. Yikes. Foods we thought were "good" were loaded with additives. Yuck.

I assume you mean Yuka? If so I'm addicted! FWIW it's not perfect; it will rate things like almonds and coconut milk poor for "being too caloric" or having "too much fat," but overall it's an eyeopener! :)

There's also an app which tracks restaurants that use seed oils. Can't think of its name right now.

Terrific, thanks! For the first time in my life, family needs those extra calories (low carb diet for migraine prevention; it works, but not an easy fix).

Ugh. Yes. I have no idea where the Z came from. I edited it to fix the ridiculous error.

And yes I agree that sometimes it's a little off (yes, I know nuts have a lot of fat in them. That's the point) so we use it mostly to look for the additives. I made my 15 year old son download it too. He was shocked at some of the crap he was eating.
