Top 5 Ingredients To AVOID In The Foods We Eat Every Day - Educational Grocery Haul

Now that we have made so many haul and review videos, I keep seeing the same 5-10 bad ingredients popping up in so many of the food items at the grocery store. So let's start off by showing you the top 5 or so ingredients that should be avoided in food products and why. The reason why you see these inferior and unhealthy items in packaged food at the grocery store is because they are cheap and easy to mass manufacture, it's all about money. But the ingredients are bad for your health in many ways and can be avoided if you know how to identify them. Mad love..Bobby, Dessi, Rose, and Art! XOXO

1) Only organic AND expeller pressed veg/canola oils 2) No carageenen 3) No palm oil/palm fruit shortening (unless it's unrefined Red palm oil) 4) Caramel coloring 5) Natural flavors...are not natural, instead real vanilla extract is best 6) Yeast extract...another word for MSG and usually made from GMO corn

[@Scottie045]

Bobby have you thought about making a “Bobby Approved” app?

[@Autumnleaves_beachdays]

Scott Pennelly yessss great idea! It should have an option to scan any product at the store and it will tell you if it’s Bobby Approved, so you don’t have to do all reading.

[@annjacob3636]

I agree!! My carb manager app will tell me ‘Keto gradeA’ on items that have bad ingredients

[@terid5112]

Here's the link to Bobby's Amazon eBook, which he downloaded to his phone. He updates this twice a month. It shows Bobby Approved products. If you watch FLAVCITY on KZbin, he will show it once in awhile. You can search by product or ingredient.

I found out that this is the reading label lesson everybody should learn. I personally had IBS.

Thank you. God bless to you and your family.

I love you for creating this video! I’ve been following diet like this for awhile and my health improve and inflammatory issues improve dramatically!

But, your videos have given me some insight to shop smarter and even more healthy for the foods I enjoy. Thanks.

I actually contacted RX Bars about their natural flavors and got this response: Thanks for reaching out to us and we are happy to hear that you are interested in learning more about our products. The natural flavors in our products are oils, essences and extracts from natural sources, such as spices, fruits, plants or vegetables. We use them for quality and consistency in our products. Our natural flavors do not contain any common allergies including wheat, dairy, soy, sesame, sulfites, or gmo ingredients. I have attached the following link for more helpful information: What are the natural flavors in RXBAR products?

Bobby and Art, thank you for the awesome work you do for educating american public 👍😍 I would like to see the video “The second best options for budget conscious buyers”. I am not always able to buy the best of the best at the grocery store but I want not to feel bad about my choices. For example: if the Irish grass fed butter is not in my budget, are there some conventional butter brands better than others? Or, if a bag of organic apples is not in my budget, is it okay to buy conventional apples and wash and peel the apples before eating, would apples from New Zealand be less sprayed than American apples? Or, for example, the grass fed cheese is not in my budget and usually I buy a block of Jarlsberg cheese from Norway at Costco thinking that European standards of conventional cheese production are generally much better. Thank you 🙏
