Know Your Food with Wardee

KYF #025: They Want to Hide Toxic Sweeteners In Your Childs School Milk Dairy industry representatives recently submitted a petition to the FDA asking for permission to add chemical sweeteners to a host of milk products, starting with flavored milks in schools — without adding nutrient content claims such as "reduced calorie" to the front of the carton. They claim that visible nutrient content claims make children less likely to choose the milk products, and that removing the nutrient content claims will lead to more healthful eating practices and promote honest and fair dealings in the market. In this episode, we ask: should the FDA allow dairy producers to hide the presence of artificial sweeteners in milk products? Wardees guests say no. Youll hear from Sally Fallon Morell, President and Founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation; Kimberly Hartke, Weston A. Price Foundation Publicist; and Cathy Raymond, Outreach and Marketing Director for Weston A. Price Foundation and the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund. Whats your opinion?
