Clean food and healthy living advocate Vani Hari, AKA Food Babe, delivered a fiery rebuke of processed and chemical-laden foods sold to American consumers during a visit to Congress this week.

Taking part in a roundtable discussion centered on American health and nutrition hosted by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) Monday, Hari slammed US regulators for allowing foods to be marketed despite containing harmful ingredients that are banned in Europe.

“Our government is letting US food companies get away with serving American citizens harmful ingredients that are banned or heavily regulated in other countries,” Hari said.

“Even worse, American food companies are selling the same exact products overseas without these chemicals but choose to continue serving us the most toxic version here,” she said, adding, “It’s un-American.”

Hari went on to illustrate how several popular US food products differ from their UK counterparts, including McDonalds fries, which she said contain 11 ingredients – including formaldehyde – in the US compared to three ingredients in Europe.

“This is Skittles. Notice the long list of ingredient differences,” she said pointing to a chart. “10 artificial dyes in the U.S. version and titanium dioxide. This ingredient is banned in Europe because it can cause DNA damage. Artificial dyes are made from petroleum and products containing these dyes require a warning label in Europe. And they have been linked to cancer and disruptions in the immune system.”

Hari also listed similar issues with Gatorade, Doritos and General Mills kids’ cereal Trix.

“General Mills is definitely playing some tricks on us. They launched a new version of Trix just recently in Australia. It has no dyes. They even advertised that when the U.S. version still does.”

Hari received supoprt from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who noted, “This week she testified in the Senate about ingredients in U.S. foods that are considered to be toxic in Europe. When U.S. food manufacturers make the same foods for the European market, they omit those ingredients,” and urged X users to follow her.

Other prominent figures who attended the four-hour discussion included Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Jordan Peterson, fitness guru Jillian Michaels and Dr. Marty Makary.

The discussion comes as former President Donald Trump has vowed to make nutrition and health a major part of his reelection platform.
