Fast food?

Do you eat fast food?

A study recently showed that over one-third of Americans are eating fast food daily.

It’s staggering!

Fast food has crept its way into our schools as well which is detrimental to our kids’ health.

There has been testing on these foods looking at toxins such as glyphosate, heavy metals, antibiotics, and hormone disruptors such as forever chemicals and phthalates.

100% of the top twenty fast food brands came back positive for glyphosate which has been linked to many disorders like cancer, depression, cardiovascular disease diabetes, and autism.

These toxins can cause leaky gut and cause breakdown of the blood-brain barrier which could lead to neuroinflammation that we’re seeing in disorders of children such as ASD, ADD/ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

The highest levels of glyphosate were found in Panera Bread and Arby’s, meanwhile, Chopotle was found to have one of the lowest levels.

This is a contributing factor to what’s making our society sick, and there are many healthier alternatives available.

Advocacy groups are getting into schools to make changes to our school lunches to replace the foods that are making us sick with nutritious food.

The problem is that there is an abundance of toxins and a lack of nutrients which are detrimental to all of us.

Unfortunately, not only fast food, but any food we eat out of the house can contain toxins.

There are many restaurants now like True Food Kitchen that cook whole food and give us a clean experience of eating out.

We should be making those same choices to shop organic to avoid glyphosate and ultra-processed foods that are making us and our kids sick.

While removing certain inflammatory foods for many of our kids like gluten and casein can be beneficial, one of the most important factors to create health is eating organic whole foods to fuel our bodies to prevent chronic degenerative diseases.
