After church we went the grocery store, and I looked at the back of a package of mashed potatoes (the ones you add water to) I counted around 25 ingredients in this package, many of which I had to look up:
- Mono and diglycerides - emulsifiers that may contain trans fats which the FDA has said don't have to be reported
- Artificial colors - a quick google search reveals all kinds of health issues as a result of ingesting them
- Artificial flavor - One article said that there are over 3,000 different artificial flavorings. So you can't even know exactly what ingredients are in this.
