A ground-shaking story appeared recently about Mac and Cheese in the New York Times. According to the article “a new study of 30 cheese products has detected phthalates in all but one of the samples tested, with the highest concentrations found in the highly processed cheese powder in boxed mac and cheese mixes.” Translation? Whether you use organic or non-organic boxed mac and cheese, chances are your family has been exposed to the potential health hazard. Thankfully there are alternatives to boxed versions of Mac and Cheese which are nearly as convenient to prepare.
Don’t take away my Mac and Cheese!
