Getting into politics - I will always be fighting for you.

If you've followed me throughout the years, you know that I'm not one to get into politics. 

I'd much rather target the food industry directly, and the Food Babe Army has been so powerful in getting billion dollar food companies to change. 

We've been able to get controversial ingredients removed from Subway, Kraft, and Starbucks, and we are currently running a thriving campaign to get artificial dyes and BHT out of Kellogg's cereal which is putting pressure on the entire food system. 

But quite frankly, this game of whack-a-mole with ingredients that we've been playing for the last 10 years isn't enough to protect Americans from the unethical and hypocritical practices of these companies.

When we took over 400,000 petition signatures to Kellogg's headquarters telling them we want the same safer ingredients that other countries get…They told us to GET OFF THEIR LAWN.

Moms, dads, and Americans everywhere are standing up to protect the health of our children, and are met with a slap in the face.

Aren't you DONE with being ignored and exploited by these companies?

The only time I get into politics is when I see a real opportunity to make a difference. And right now, the consideration of banning artificial food dyes from ALL American food is on the table, and it's a real possibility in this next administration.

I am currently working with several States that are introducing legislation to ban artificial food dyes, just as California recently did (if you'd like to donate to these efforts, please do so here). 

Poison is not partisan, and if we can put our differences aside and come together, we can reverse what the food industry has done to us. We can finally get the harmful ingredients out of our food that aren't used in the same products overseas. We can finally protect our children and future generations from corporations who are poisoning us for profit. 

I went to Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation hearing last week in Washington DC, because I want to work from a bi-partisan perspective to change the American food supply. 

At the hearing, he specifically called out the hypocrisy of McDonald's and Kellogg's selling safer versions of their products overseas. I'm in awe that this issue is now a main topic of discussion at the highest levels of government. 

IT'S ABOUT TIME! 

The FDA has failed the American people, and it shouldn't just be citizen activists like ourselves holding these corrupt food companies accountable. We need a voice in Washington, and that is what RFK Jr. represents.

Yesterday, he was successfully confirmed by the Senate Finance Committee and now the vote moves to the Senate floor.

This is an opportunity we've never had before to take on the food system.

RFK Jr. knows the dire situation we're in and understands how the harmful chemicals in our food are destroying our health. He gets it. His track record speaks for itself. 

He was part of the legal team who won a historic $2.2 billion case against Monsanto and Roundup weed killer, a chemical sprayed on our food that is strongly linked to cancer. 

He's gone on the record saying there are "at least 100 chemical poisons that our health agencies allow into our children's food" and he wants to do something to stop it. 

He's also been right about how seed oils are horrible for us, which is something that I talked about on national TV recently. 

Our health is being decimated (as I discussed on national TV here) and we need to do something to stop it. 

RFK Jr. put his own politics aside for the hope of reversing the chronic disease epidemic. We have an opportunity to get someone at the table who is intellectually honest about our food system, and who wants to implement policies that protect our kids.

As a mother I've dedicated my life to advocating for the removal of harmful ingredients from food that's marketed directly to my kids. 

No matter what happens in DC, I'll continue to work for all children, and for all humans.

I'll put all of my political opinions aside for that, working with the leaders who are willing to get this done.
