The Food that Poisoned American: How the Icons of Purity Became the Architects of Ultra-Processing (March 5, 2026)

The founders of Hershey, Good Humor, Stouffer, Heinz, Kellogg, Kraft, and Birdseye, among others, were pioneers looking to bring clean, hygienic, healthy, and trustworthy products to a market saturated with the opposite. Each specialized in a product, be in chocolate, ice cream, prepared meals, ketchup, cereal, cheese, or frozen foods. Recently we have learned that the grandson of the inventor of Reeses's Peanut Butter cups, owned by Hershey today, has accused the company of destroying the original product, changing "milk chocolate" and "peanut butter" to substances that mirror them. Whereas Milton Hershey sourced fresh milk and used minimal ingredients, modern Hershey products are anything but fresh or even what the label implies. Also, at least 111 substances of unknown safety have been added to foods, drinks and supplements sold in the United States without alerting the US Food and Drug Administration, a new investigation found. This is on top of the exposure that has recently been brought to American foods in general, from food coloring to preservatives - leading companies to change their ingredient lists with a promise of never again lying to consumers. What were companies that attempted to bring purity to a contaminated marketplace, largely resulting from overcrowded cities, has turned ironically into the very thing that they were formed to fight.
