Processed FoodsIt’s been four years since Food Inc. lifted the veil on America’s food industry and exposed how the nation’s food suppliers put profit ahead of the health of the consumer.  But Americans are still being served harmful foods including burgers made out of pink slime, chicken “marinated” in chlorine and injected with salt water with sodium content equivalent to a serving of fries, artificial flavoring in ice cream that is otherwise used in lice killer and carcinogens in bread commonly found on the kitchen table – all government sanctioned ingredients.

On Monday, February 27, the hosts of the Emmy Award-winning syndicated talk show THE DOCTORS, along with special guest and celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito, take a closer look at American food staples and examines the harmful additives and processes used to prepare them.

This post brought to you by Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine.

Many Americans are finding themselves in a dire situation these days. Their health has seriously declined due to poor nutritional choices and little to no daily exercise. For the first time in history, we are facing surging levels of obesity and Type II diabetes in both adults and children.

In order to battle this overall decline in our nation's health, Walmart has developed a healthy living initiative aimed at improving the choices we make in regards to physical fitness and nutrition. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation have generously sponsored over $9.5 million dollars in grants to a variety of organizations, like Action for Healthy Kids.

The funding will support nutrition education programs, provide classes focused on learning how to cook and shop for healthier foods on a budget and provide live cooking demonstrations in communities nationwide. Award-winning nutritionist and author, Dr. Ro Brock, has partnered with Walmart on their healthy living initiative and will be contributing her knowledge and expertise to help Americans develop better, more nutritious eating habits.

Indoor Chemical Pollutants A recent study conducted by the Kresge Foundation and published in Health Affairs found that treating children who are exposed to air pollution, toxic chemicals and other pollutants costs a staggering $76.6 billion dollars a year.  The study also found that children with existing allergies to common airborne allergens are even more vulnerable to chemical pollutants than others.
