Kraft Mac N Cheese - Write your letter...

Do you or your kids LOVE the mac n cheese in the blue box?? I know that my child does...and so did I growing up!! In fact, I remember telling my mom to make the "yellow cheese powder" lump up cause I loved how it tasted!!

Did you know that Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is formulated differently for countries in Europe than for the U.S.?

Crazy, but true! The fact is, that in 2008, Kraft removed artificial colorings, like yellow #5, and chemical sweeteners, like aspartame, from the products that they distribute in Europe, Australia, and other developed countries due to consumer concern over scientific studies that link these synthetic ingredients to hyperactivity and asthma in children. But, they haven’t done the same thing here in the U.S., our voices are needed to make that change here too!

Please join me in writing to the Kraft CEO, Irene Rosenfeld, a mother of two herself, requesting that Kraft remove these same ingredients from their products here in the U.S.

Kraft took these chemicals and additives out of their European products. If we want Kraft to do this for us in the U.S., then Kraft needs to hear from us! Their products are in the vast majority of American households. Together, we can affect remarkable change and have these ingredients removed from the products that Kraft distributes here in the U.S.!

Why is it ok for these changes to be made overseas and not here in the US?? It's NOT...and I sent my letter...will you do the same??
