Food Discoveries

I'm finding that healthy eating and buying local meat is more plausible than I initially anticipated. We have been thinking a lot about eating excessive amounts of garbage in our food, mainly in the form of chemical preservatives and dyes and flavors. It's amazing what we put in our bodies.

When you really get down to it, if you were in a factory and someone handed you a chemical and told you to eat it, you'd say they were crazy, and yet we eat that stuff every day of our lives and don't blink an eye. Not for me, thank you. Whenever possible, I would make an effort to avoid it.

Unfortunately, healthy eating also involves reducing the good things in life like sugar and white flour. Ouch. However, we have been discovering sugar alternatives that taste good, if not great. The jury is still out, but at least we have some options.

We also found a source of local, nitrate free bacon and sausage/kielbasa. The movement is taking place before our very eyes.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Anne-Mette Pedersen for the pic.
