It’s a fact! 100% of men, women and children eat food, and 97.5% of must buy their food from others who bring it from an average of 2,000 miles away. And so the hungry ask: ”What’s in this tomato? Who planted that broccoli? Is it safe to eat genetically engineered corn? Why are they irradiating meat? Are we running short of water? Why is China growing our apples? What will happen to us if we can no longer farm? How safe is our food chain?” The Food Chain is an audience-interactive syndicated newstalk radio program and podcast broadcasting weekly on radio stations and streaming on demand on the internet.

Over 80 million Americans, including over one-third of the nation’s children and adolescents, eat fast food every day. And some eat it multiple times a day! This leads us to ask:
Can America’s moms chase the dangerous chemicals out of fast food

Welcome to the 1354th edition of the Food Chain Radio Show... Or hey... Perhaps you’re among our friends down there in Valparaiso, who are tuned in to the Food Chain podcast at metrofarm.com or on Spotify... .
Well, whoever you are, and wherever you are, welcome aboard, I am Michael Olson, your host for this hour of What’s-Eating-What...
FOLKS...
Those who hike the backcountry of the Montana Rockies know to never corner a
mama grizzly with her cubs in tow. It’s best to give her a half hour notice that you’re coming – bang on a pan, ring a bell or sing a John Denver song with as much enthusiasm as you can muster.
The same could be said for most moms. If they perceive you to be a threat to their children, you might find your head becoming a landing pad for her cast iron skillet.
One very modern way to threaten the safety of children is to load up their fast food with harmful chemicals with names moms can’t pronounce. Of course, not all moms would consider those chemical additives to be a threat. In fact, many moms eat the fast foods themselves, and are willing to put up with the additives for the sake of convenience – or maybe they just don’t know the chemicals are in the fast food!
One mom knows, and she is as angry as the mother grizzly you never want to corner. Why is she so angry? Because she has discovered what is in the food served to children in 8 out of 10 of the nation’s most popular fast chains. And she leads us to ask:
Can America’s moms chase the dangerous chemicals out of fast food?
