POPSSeeing Through Industrial Food’s 'Personal Responsibility' Smoke Screen Many processed foods available today are filled with empty calories that contribute to our weight, and therefore health, problems. We have drifted away from actually cooking home meals using the same whole foods that food processors use but without all the additives, preservatives and processing that degrades the nutrition we all need.

Let’s get reacquainted with in-home food preparation, even if its only one day a week, and tell pro food to start taking some responsibility in its part to help keep us healthy.
