See Takis Ingredients – Every parent needs to know the truth
There’s nothing that makes me more angry than when food companies create products with highly addictive chemicals, and fill them with the absolute worst ingredients linked to health problems.
There’s nothing that makes me more angry than when food companies create products with highly addictive chemicals, and fill them with the absolute worst ingredients linked to health problems. That’s why I had to share the truth with you about Takis. If you haven’t heard of Takis, I bet your kids have. Check out these comments I saw on social media…
“I see 6 year olds eating this for breakfast”
“My high school students eat these A LOT! I’ve been telling them how bad they are for their health”
“My last year of teaching…it seemed like half the high school walked in every morning with Takis for breakfast”
Whoa! So many kids eat Takis, even for breakfast.
I admit I’ve never tried Takis, but I hear they’re extremely spicy chips that are very addicting. That’s no surprise when you look at the ingredients…
That Taki “seasoning” is spiked with MSG 3 times!
There are 3 forms of MSG in Takis:
MSG (monosodium glutamate)
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
Yeast Extract
It’s awful that they add MSG because this entices you (and your kids) to eat more Takis…and the next thing you know you’re inhaling handfuls of artificial dyes and unhealthy processed ingredients. MSG is added to make you crave Takis, so you keeping eating and eating and eating their product. There is simply no other reason for food companies to use MSG. I don’t like to eat products that trick my brain into craving them, and I especially don’t want to give snacks with MSG to my kids.
MSG is linked to weight gain.
It’s been shown that MSG can help you gain weight, even if you don’t eat more calories. (1) This is why MSG is fed to rats in animal studies to make them obese!
Takis are also spiked with added “Flavors” that make you crave their product.
The natural and artificial flavor chemicals that flavor manufacturers engineer are contributing to what David Kessler (former head of the FDA) calls a “food carnival” in your mouth. (2) The inability to stop eating because the flavors they have synthesized trick your mind into wanting more and more. They don’t want you to have the full essence of a taste – they want you to only experience the best 1 millionth part of the taste – so you keep having to go back for more and more, continuously searching for gratification. (2)
These ingredients are hijacking your taste buds one by one! This is why I try to avoid products with “Natural Flavors” or “Artificial Flavors” added.
In America, Takis contain Artificial Colors and TBHQ.
Artificial colors are one of the Terrible 10 Ingredients In Children’s Food in my new book, Food Babe Family. That’s because artificial colors come with so many health risks and are in a lot of foods that parents buy for their kids. Artificial colors (like Red 40 and Yellow 6) require a warning label in Europe that states they cause hyperactivity in children. (1) This is why most foods in Europe don’t contain them! Artificial colors have also been shown to disrupt the immune system. Any product with artificial colors in it is an automatic NO GO in my house. I’m teaching my kids how to spot artificial dyes and why we don’t want to eat them.
Own a piece of libertarian activist history! In 2013, the police accountability organization Cop Block produced a one-time run of "Shiny Badges" modeled after the Keene, New Hampshire police department badge from a manufacturer of "real" police badges. The heavy-weight badge features the Cop Block logo and the words: "Shiny Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights,” reminding the police of the incredible delusion required to believe a shiny badge gives one an exception from morality or the "right" to imprison peaceful people for victimless crimes among other immoral transgressions required for the job.
The Art of Liberty Foundation acquired Five (5) of these at PorcFest 2023, and we are auctioning these off to support the foundation. You can buy here for $250 OR "Go Paid" as a $250 Founding Member on SubStack to receive your shiny badge, an Everything Bundle, AND a One-Year Founding Membership on the Art Of Liberty Foundation's Important News Substack. These are the only Cop Block Shiny Badges available on the internet and when they are gone... They are Gone!
