“Way to go”: Danica Patrick applauds Arizona House’s recent ruling on banning toxic chemicals

Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick recently took to her Instagram account to react to an initiative about food additives by the Arizona House. Patrick is a long-time advocate of reducing processed and chemical-laden food consumption.

The Arizona House approved HB2164, also known as the Arizona Healthy Schools Act. The bill, spearheaded by Rep. Leo Biasiucci of Lake Havasu City, received unanimous approval in the Arizona House.

'It aims to eliminate several controversial food additives from public school meals, including potassium bromate, titanium dioxide, brominated vegetable oil, propylparaben, and synthetic dyes such as Red 40 and Yellow 5. These substances have been linked to health concerns, including hyperactivity in children and increased cancer risks,' according to FOX.

When the news surfaced online, former IndyCar race winner Danica Patrick voiced her opinion. Patrick, who frequently shares her passion for clean eating, celebrated the Arizona House’s decision on her Instagram story. She wrote:

"Way to go, Arizona! And @calleymeans for inviting me to share my passion for healthy food in America."
