Are we really what we eat?
January 5, 2008|Comments (4)
Thanks to information-overload from the media, we no longer know what not to eat and (perhaps more importantly) what to eat. The list of foods carrying the label “bad” has changed dramatically over the years. Eggs are now safe but bread is still naughty and sugar substitutes flood the market again because sugar is blamed for our nation’s obesity. The question begs to be answered: what may we eat? How could something so simple become so complex?
Curious? Check out this book:
This book takes you on a journey through the industrial food chain to your local market.

Food is an important subject on a lot of our minds (especially we folks that are kissing middle age)
I’ve got the book page bookmarked so I can finish reading the reviews. It sounds like it may be an insightful read.
Thanks for your happy comments in my journal. I apologize for my not posting that my entry was about my pixiegrins.org website and not about my bravenet journal. Sorry about that. I forget important details sometimes.
Hi Dee! You are absolutely right: food is a very important subject. Glad you’re looking to get the book. It’s worth it!
This is a HUGE subject in my life. I firmly believe that eating food as closely to how God intended and keeping things in moderation is KEY.
If you read my “opening statement” on my blog, you will read that my husband is LIVING proof of an all-natural, preservative-free, refined-product-free, etc. life!! It’s a lifestyle few are willing to embrace, but it’s definitely worth it in the long-run!! Health care might not be such a HUGE issue if we just controlled what we shove into our mouths!! haha! My husband is on ZERO medications at 56- and he wasn’t even “supposed” to survive!
Okay… don’t get me started… hahaha!
Hi Gina!
What a terrific comment! When I looked at your blog, I read about your husband and thought you both were very courageous! Congratualtions on your success! Going back to the basics is no easy task (nor is it inexpensive) but you did it and are inspiring others through your blog! Please share some recipes with us!! Have you seen our website? You might find some recipes there. If you try them, send us pictures and I’ll post them!
Wishing you continued blessings and good health,
Lacy
