the end of an era, a green era that is.
I have decided that once Sennet outgrows all of his current “green” clothes, I will not buy anymore. It may be hard at first but this green thing is driving me crazy and now is apparently not good for him either. I have added food coloring to his food and search through the M&Ms bag to find dos verde m&ms after he goes potty- but no more! I can’t keep up with the green obsession- so I am done trying!

Anything With Extremely Unnatural Coloring
Last March, the FDA probed whether there was a correlation between food dyes and hyperactivity in children. They discovered there was a lack of evidence to support the idea that food coloring contributed to hyperactivity, but found that it may contribute to hyperactivity in children with ADHD. A study out this month in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, found the effects of food colors were notable in regards to behavior in ADHD kids, but that further research was needed due to bias and sample derivatives. In addition to behavioral effects of food coloring, let us not forget that many foods containing added colors tend to be processed leaving them loaded with sugar, fat, sodium and empty calories for your little one. The UK and EU recently banned the use of some food dyes in food manufacturing. You can at least consider banning it in your own household, right?
