When is red NOT the color of love?
Answer: When red#40 and other fake colors are in the ingredients.
Here are some kid friendly, last minute affordable Valentine treats to try this year. Try any of these to give an affordable treat without artificial colors to contribute to behavior problems in school. The teachers will appreciate your efforts too. This would also be a great time to try the NFF Love Challenge (NFF=No Fake Food). If you tried before and did not continue, don't despair as you can try again. Just try 3 days without giving your kids ( or yourself) products that contain fake colors or fake sweeteners. Then observe how they behave, how you feel, how well you sleep and how much easier it is to control your junk food intake. What a great way to show love to yourself, your family and their classmates and teachers.
