Updates

 Some quick updates:

Prop 37

   In the recent election, Prop 37 (California) failed to pass.  Basically, it would have required all companies to disclose any GMOs in their products.  This was a serious blow for those of us who need, or even want, to know what is in our food supply.

MSG'd Grape

The other day we wanted grapes.  At the store, they were out of organic ones, so I grabbed regular grapes since I knew we were okay with them.

My Story

Monosodium Glutamate.

Maltodextrin.

Aspartame.

Natural and Artificial Flavoring.

High Fructose Corn Syrup.

How many see those words on an ingredient list, yet don't think twice about giving them to your family?

I certainly didn't.

Sources of Soy

My daughter and I have been getting sick for years.   After I discovered what my problem was (separate post), we worked on finding out what was wrong with my 22 year old.

Not Just Food

My friends seem to always be talking about losing weight.  Don't get me wrong.  There is nothing wrong with losing weight.  However, a few seem to be a bit obsessed with it.  It's always "I've lost 5 pounds!" or "Why can't I lose weight?!"   If someone is having trouble, there is always someone else to suggest a new diet to try.
