Hmmm.

I call shenanigans.

There's a hysterical gloom-and-doom tone to all of this, and not a lot of citation. (The few citations seem to be pointing at other natural foods proponents, which seems a bit incestuous.)

There are also lots of appeals to emotion, such as, "In fact, the USDA is gloating over the fact that children today get the vast majority of their important nutrients from the nutrients added to these boxed cereals." An emotional portrayal, rather than a scientific discussion. (The government is a bloated menace! Think of the Children! We're all going to die!)

While this article is good for promoting critical thinking about food choices, I think I'll look for independent verification before I believe everything that Sally Fallon says.
