What if the most powerful thing you can do to change our broken food system has nothing to do with the FDA?
There’s been a lot of excitement around the FDA’s recent announcement about GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredients and what it could mean for the chemicals and additives allowed in our food.
But is this actually the major change many people think it is?
In this episode of the Simple Doesn't Mean Easy podcast, Michelle breaks down what GRAS really means, how the current system came to be, what the proposed changes could do, and why she’s not convinced that more government regulation is the answer.
More importantly, she shares what she believes you and I can actually do to create meaningful change—and it starts much closer to home than Washington.
We have more power as consumers than we realize, and small, intentional changes in our own pantries can add up. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening behind the scenes with our food system—and what you can personally do about it—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
