What situation are food additives justified?
Food additives can never be justified. With our fast paced living, additives are added to many and most processed foods. Reading labels is a good idea, and try to stay away from additives
I'll assume you mean artificial additives. I can think of no justification for these. All artificial additives try to simulate or replace something natural.Always use natural. In the domestic kitchen there can be no reason for introducing artificial foodstuffs. Anything you want to color or preserve can be done naturally(natural additives) as has been done for centuries before food was produced in factories. .
OK.everybody's right when they say they're not justified when it comes to your health, but there is a problem with all natural or organic everything. MONEY!!! For one, it is going to be expensive to buy these products (if you can find them). For example, USDA inspected organic boneless skinless chicken breasts are at a cost of at least $10.00 a pound compared to the other chicken breasts at $4.50 lb. (Which by the way it is federally regulated that absolutely no chicken is allowed to have steroids or hormones in). The other sticky situation when it comes to no additives is a greatly reduces shelf life which will affect how much throwaway grocery stores, vendors and producers will have.which will also affect the price.
