Description:

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:    none

This is another news show relating stories that appeared in 2018.  After podcasting for 2 1/2 years, I finally get around to addressing Genetically Modified Organisms in our food supply and what our federal government is doing about them.  Then, I explore some stories about little known toxins in processed foods and why the Food & Drug Administration changed its mind about the safety of some of the common flavorings used in beverages, ice creams, candy, and baked goods.  Don't touch that processed food until you listen to this show!!!
