Dear CEO and Board of Sonic,
Moms Across America, a nationwide non-profit, initiated an extensive testing program on the top twenty fast food brands in America, including Sonic. Forty-two samples of 21 brands were tested for toxic heavy metals.
Los resultados:
- Sonic samples tested contained alarming levels of cadmium. The levels of cadmium were between 74%-1158% higher than what the EPA allows in drinking water.
- Cadmium is highly carcinogenic and can cause toxic reactions even at low levels.
- A Sonic Drive-in cheeseburger had the highest amount of lead of all samples tested, 10.34 ppb – 912% higher than what the EPA allows in drinking water.
- Even low levels of lead in blood have been shown to negatively affect a child’s intelligence, ability to pay attention, and academic achievement.
Moms Across America requests that Sonic take these results very seriously and make immediate changes to its sourcing of ingredients.
We thought you’d want to know that you can make a difference in the abysmal health of our nation. Here’s how: We request that Sonic alert its suppliers that it will be transitioning to sources who do not use toxic-metal laden fertilizers (the most likely source of the heavy metals found) or any other toxic agrochemicals.
Suppliers must be regularly third party tested for these toxins in order to have your business. This is essential for basic human health at any level of consumption of your food.
Be the brand that cares about your customers and our nation's future!
Gracias,
Sinceramente mamás de toda América

Por qué probamos la comida rápida:
La comida rápida es consumida por ochenta y cinco millones de estadounidenses cada día, y muchas cadenas son a menudo los proveedores de almuerzos escolares. Treinta millones de comidas escolares se sirven a nuestros niños todos los días, y para millones de niños desfavorecidos, estas comidas tóxicas son su único acceso a la nutrición. Nuestras pruebas anteriores ha demostrado que los almuerzos escolares de Estados Unidos son realmente tóxicos.
Para investigar más a fondo el estado de una fuente importante de alimentos y nutrición en Estados Unidos, Mamás de toda América partidarios, incluyendo Defensa de la salud infantil, el Academia Centner, y muchos partidarios individuales, iniciaron recientemente pruebas exhaustivas centradas específicamente en las cadenas de comida rápida más populares de Estados Unidos para explorar la posible contaminación de nuestro suministro de alimentos, que probablemente esté afectando nuestra salud física y mental.

It is TIME to clean up the soil and go 100% regenerative & restorative AG. No more glyphosate. No more herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. You will not be in business a dozen years if you do not take steps to improve the soil and support regenerative ag. No one will be in business anymore. Period.
Our soils cannot take it more glyphosate. Our bodies cannot take more glyphosate.
We all welcome you turning this Titanic around. The time to take action is NOW.
Thank you!
