    Back to Basics Foods is based on the premise that good health is achieved through eating the proper diet and staying active. We believe that our children’s meals are sacred gifts from us that should not come laden with chemical additives, flavorings, dyes or perfumes. The basic old-fashioned foods that our grandparents ate are what built this country and made our nation strong, not TV dinners and Microwave Meals. Since we are reported to be the first generation in a hundred years not to outlive our parents, we can learn something from the way they lived and nourished themselves.Back to Basics Foods promises to deliver only wholesome food options that are free from the worst additives and preservatives. We will guarantee that you will never see, Bleached Flours, Chemical Dyes, Hexane Derived Proteins, Hydrogenated Oils or Trans Fats, Artificial Sweeteners, MSG, BHT, TBHQ, BHA, High Fructose Corn Syrup and the myriad other chemicals that have found their way onto our childrens trays.Please Check out my Blog at www.chemicalfreelunch.com to learn more about our philosophy on food and food additives.
