“This highlights a deeper issue in our community: We tend to be too trusting— gullible, even”
I enjoyed your article on processed foods and found it very informative. I wanted to mention a website that my pediatrician brought to our attention that can help consumers make better food choices. The website TrueFood (www.truefood.tech) lists 5,000 of the most common foods and rates them based on how processed their ingredients are. They then have a breakdown of all the ingredients in a food and explain the origin of each one. Not everything on it is kosher, but there are many foods that are, and it can be a helpful guide in general.

This topic has been eating at me for a long time, and I truly appreciate Family First for tackling it head-on and publishing honest, well-researched information. Finally, someone said it: “Healthy chips” is an oxymoron. I don’t care if it’s made from pea powder and rice — it’s still deep-fried!
The tone of the article came across as somewhat surprised — almost shocked —that the food industry is in it for the money and not genuinely interested in our well-being.
To me, this highlights a deeper issue in our community: We tend to be too trusting — gullible, even. I say this with love and understanding, because I believe it comes from a sincere, even holy, place. We want to believe that people are good and here to help. And in our circles, baruch Hashem, that often is the case.
