When I was a kid, I was the QUEEN of candy!
I knew every brand, every flavor, and always had candy in my pockets.
Halloween was my FAVORITE. I'd come home with a bucket stuffed to the brim, and sometimes that candy would last for WEEKS!
My parents didn't think twice about it. Why would they? This was candy sold in every grocery store in America. We didn't know about all the artificial dyes, preservatives, and other chemicals hiding inside.
But just because something is sold on grocery store shelves doesn't mean it's safe.
And here's something else I've learned...
Halloween candy isn't really a once-a-year thing.
As soon as Halloween is over, the stores are already filling up with Christmas candy. Then Valentine's Day. Then Easter.
It's a never-ending parade of colorful candy, cookies, and treats filled with artificial dyes, preservatives, and other unnecessary junk.
I call this the Holiday Death Aisle.
Big Food has turned practically EVERY celebration into another opportunity to sell us ultra-processed junk!
And that aisle never really goes away. It just changes decorations.
To be clear, I'm not saying you should never eat candy or enjoy your favorite holiday treats.
But if you normally avoid GMOs, artificial colors, flavors, and controversial preservatives, there's no reason to buy them "just one day a year" for Halloween.
There are soooo many better candy options available nowadays!!!
In my new book Food Babe Feast, I show you how to celebrate EVERY occasion with delicious real food, without all the unnecessary junk the food industry puts in our favorite treats.

P.S. BIG NEWS! The company behind Airheads and Mentos Gum just announced plans to remove artificial dyes from more than 650 products! Changes are expected in 2027. This is huge progress! But beware, artificial dyes are still everywhere in the Holiday Death Aisle this time of year. Keep reading those ingredient labels and voting with your dollars. It's working!
