Last weekend, I was sitting around minding my own business reading the Sunday newspaper and couldn't help but notice all the advertisements marketing the worst kind of treats to celebrate Halloween on Friday. I opened one ad for a major store and there wasn't one item I would consider putting in my mouth. Not one!
So instead of festering in my anger, I thought I would share with you a compilation of posts that I have written throughout the years that will make this upcoming holiday more enjoyable and healthy – while avoiding toxic ingredients!
I vote with my dollars every single day, and I hope you will too and join me in not supporting the companies that continue to sell us controversial chemicals, GMOs and other additives like artificial food dyes.
