Kraft & Yellow Food Dye
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s wonderful they are going to take yellow food dye out of macaroni & cheese but come on. If you are going to try to do something meaningful, don’t you think you should get the GMO out first?

Kraft Yellow Petition Update – 175,000 signatures and growing
We want to take a moment to share that this petition is honestly much bigger than just macaroni and cheese or even Kraft. There are many large US companies that use artificial dyes – as well as other additives like GMOs – in their food products here that are not used overseas. Everyone from General Mills to Kellogg’s to Pepsi, McDonald’s and of course Kraft, have formulated safer, better versions of their products for other countries and this petition is a vehicle to let these companies know it’s time for American consumers to get the same.
I quit buying their macaroni & cheese, in fact I’m in the process of going all organic because I don’t think we should be forced to eat something that is killing our bees and butterflies. This stuff is dangerous and should be banned but for now, I’ll settle for labeling.
If you’re a parent and you’re still feeding your children this stuff, shame on you. Your children will have health problems and most will die prematurely because of your decision. Think! Do your homework. Protect your family against this invisible intruder. Just because you can’t see the danger, doesn’t make it not real.
I know it’s costly to buy organic but for most of us, it’s just a matter of eating a couple more meals at home and being smart about your purchasing. The price of organic is coming down, start small. You didn’t start buying it all at once, you don’t have to quit cold turkey but think about what you’re eating. Make a conscious decision to eat healthier, less fast food and more natural stuff like homemade macaroni & cheese, instead of it’s GMO counterpart. If you don’t buy it, they won’t make it. I promise you that.
So, spend your money wisely. Know the companies that you buy from, call them and ask if they use GMO products. Let them know that you care about what you eat.
