Summary: David A. Kessler argues that the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) designation allows for the inclusion of harmful chemicals in the majority of grocery store products. He advocates for the elimination of the GRAS status in favor of cleaner food and clearer labeling to protect public health.
Please eliminate GRAS. It’s the right thing to do for ALL American’s. It’s becoming impossible to buy 95% or more of food in the grocery store as they are all full of chemicals that we don’t understand and don’t want. We need cleaner food with clearer labeling to be healthy. The average person assumes if it’s in the store, it’s safe but nothing could be further from the truth on that. Pretty much everything in a package has something that’s not great for you. I’ve heard that eating the box would be more nutritious than most cereals as it least there is some fiber in the box! Now we have to worry about Apeel being sprayed on fresh produce. Our bodies don’t know how to digest these chemicals so they wreak havoc in ways most people don’t understand. Eating clean food, breathing clean air & drinking clean water should be a given in America. The greed needs to stop. Please help!
