Exposing Kashi Cereal For The Poison That It Is

There is an established misconception among consumers that natural or even organic labeling means more nutritious and less toxic ingredients. This is not always the case and breakfast cereals are no exception. The Kashi brand is owned by Kellogg Company, one of the largest breakfast cereal makers in the world. The ownership base of Kashi is still not widely recognized or common knowledge, especially since the Kashi website continues to paint a picture of being a small company. Investigations into Kashi cereals show deceiving claims after their breakfast products were found to be riddled with genetically modified (GM) and pesticide loaded ingredients.

I was a little annoyed last night, when I found an entire section of the freezer, at the local whole foods market, dedicated to Kashi products. Gross. It is frustrating to me, to have to research every single food product, because their labeling is so misleading.

When I explain to people the reasons for my food choices, they are turned off by the fact that they can't just pick something up without doing so much leg work. I think most people just give up, because it is all so confusing. I really wish consumers were better protected with crystal clear labeling. Unfortunately, the deep pocketed food industry works very hard at pumping crap into our bodies with clever marketing.
