Mothers Blog About Mac And Cheese!

     Who hasn't ever had Mac and Cheese? Kids around the world and especially throughout the United States have all had the chance to try yummy Mac and Cheese. I remember eating it all the time as a child. Did you ever think that it could be bad for you? Well two very concerned mothers have blogged to Kraft in order for the company to take out the two dyes that are in Mac and Cheese; yellow dye 5 and yellow dye 6. The dyes are known for making kids hyperactive, give them allergies, migraines and, because yellow dyes are petroleum-based which means that they can cause cancer. 
     The mothers have blogged about their concern and have requested from Kraft that they take out the dyes because Kraft sells a similar product in the UK that does not have the dyes in it and tastes exactly the same. There is a petition in the making in order for Kraft to abide by this. All Kraft had to say was that they follow the rules of the food industry and that the FDA has approved the use of these dyes in the United States.
     Until these mothers demand is accomplished by Kraft, they refuse to offer it to their kids. More and more people have seen the petition and have also agreed that taking out the food dyes would be very beneficial to their children's health. They also said that if Kraft would offer the UK version of Mac and Cheese that does not have the dyes in it, maybe then their kids would see it at dinner again.
