There may be sawdust hidden in your cheese and other foods
It is not exactly comforting to think about, but it's important to know more about what food you're purchasing at the grocery store and what, exactly, is hiding in it.
Recently, New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist Larry Olmsted sat down with CBS News to answer questions about his new book called Real Food/Fake Food.
In it, he details many of the common foods that we don't think twice about eating — but may be a danger to our health.
Olmsted's research has yielded plenty of horrifying things, much of which I'll be detailing here. While this isn't a complete list by any means, there are a few ways you can protect yourself and your family from potential harm.
And in case you need any more reason to eat your vegetables, I'd highly recommend these surprising facts about broccoli (and possibly a blender so you can mix it with something).
Maybe less suspect is the watermelon superfruit, and all the amazing benefits you get from eating those!
Whatever the case, let's review your fridge and get down to the basics when it comes to selecting the freshest food for your loved ones.
