Becoming a food justice activist was not on my bingo card-ever!” says Marci Kenon, fitness trainer/lifestyle coach-turned environmental health educator/food justice activist after reading about the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) loophole in “Fiber Fueled,” the NYT’s bestseller written by famed gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz.

GRAS is an FDA-sanctioned loophole that has permitted food companies to flood the American food supply with 10,000+ additives over decades. “Numerous food additives have already been shown to damage the gut microbiota, while more than 99 percent of them haven’t been studied,” Bulsiewicz claims in “Fiber Fueled.”

Americans are rightfully expressing tremendous concern on social media about the challenge of having access to safe, healthy, and affordable foods.

It is the mission of the Close GRAS Movement to fight for access to safe and healthy foods by educating, empowering, and enlisting concerned citizens to take action that includes supporting the local, state and federal legislation that aims to ban toxic food additives and to transfer the authority to decide what additives are safe to put in our food supply from the food industry to the FDA and other regulatory agencies.
