I have tried and tried to avoid artificial food coloring/dyes in the peapod squad’s food, but it is like trying to climb Mt. Everest on a tricycle…especially when most folks think I’m nuts for even caring. And the kids think I’m a seriously mean mommy, because all of the “cool” food is brightly colored with artificial stuff. The scientific evidence may not be concrete yet, but I see a HUGE difference in my kids when they consume the junk. Red 40 seems to be the biggest culprit for us, but I’d love to be able to avoid all of it.

I highly recommend this really interesting read…
