Freedom to Choose: Why Our Food System Feels Un-American

Food is thoroughly scrutinized right? Then why do public databases struggle to keep up-to-date? In fact, the numbers presented by the USDA claims about 12% of US packaged foods contain at least one artificial dye. But our proprietary database reports 17%. 

Plus, with so many ingredient names nowadays, it's hard to really know everything that's in our food.

Jeffrey Tucker’s most recent article from the Epoch Times, How Did Strange Dyes Get in Our Food?, highlights the importance of consumer choice related to our food supply. He makes a crucial point most Americans can get behind: we deserve the freedom to choose what we eat. But, as he rightly implies, real freedom comes from making informed choices.

Being informed isn’t always easy, given how complicated food labels (and long ingredient lists) can be. But there are tools out there designed precisely to bridge this gap. WISEcode™ allows users to quickly understand what's actually in their food by simply scanning the food barcode on a label—exactly what Tucker is advocating for.
