I am happy to be NOT the average American on an average American diet. That is disgusting! Praise God for my own dirt to grow my own stuff!

That will be my new answer to the "a little never killed anyone" types. A little adds up, and a lot will kill ya! It will show up as pancreatitis, liver dysfunctions, etc.

It takes a while to make big lifestyle changes, just keep plugging away!
I probably used to consume 20 lbs a year myself!

actually I thought it would have been more....so to me 'that isn't that bad?'
I think alot of people out of necessary are starting to garden, cut back on eating crappola due to the wallet, so maybe in the end healthier times are ahead?

Curious what is included in that reckoning? Got a source/link for the OP?
Not all "chemicals " are bad, although we personally use natural fertilizers and don't use any herbicides or pesticides and we make sure that the produce we buy is grown the same way. We also don't buy packaged already prepared food or commercially canned food, and we eat out very seldom.

None of those ten pounds of food additives are healthy or necessary. All cause problems, whether one "feels" it now or not. Personally, I'd like to see my own consumption of additives be a big fat zero. That is very difficult to do, but any reduction is a step in the right direction.
"Food Additives " includes such things as salt and sugar, used in preservation. As I mentioned above, not all "chemicals" are bad.
It's important to be discerning in what we put into (and I'll add ONTO) our bodies, but watch the nomenclature because words can be deceiving.
Read labels and research the words you don't understand.
And I'd still love to see a link/source for the OP
