In the latest eye-opening episode of The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable, we delve into the alarming findings of a Consumer Reports study that revealed high levels of lead, cadmium, and sodium in popular children's snack, Lunchables. The episode unpacks the ensuing lawsuit against Kraft Heinz for deceiving the public and the potential risks these products pose to our children's health.
The discussion further explores the broader implications of these findings, including the petition to the US government to remove Lunchables from the National School Lunch Program. Ryan Gable challenges listeners to consider the pervasive presence of such ingredients in grocery store items and questions the shock surrounding sodium content, which is commonly expected in processed foods.
Amidst this controversy, the episode contrasts the actions of multiple states seeking to ban food dyes and other harmful ingredients. This move could set a dangerous precedent for draconian government regulation of food. The podcast advocates for a more balanced approach, emphasizing the need to close the revolving door between regulators and industry, properly enforce existing laws, and rely on uncompromised regulators to determine market safety standards.
Highlighting the stark contrast in regulatory practices, Ryan Gable points out the significant differences between the US's 'hands-off' approach and the EU's proactive safety testing of ingredients before they hit the market. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about food safety and government regulation.
