 We are constantly bombarded with choices, so many that at times it seems what we choose hardly matters, but that’s not true, it has become more and more important to make good choices. We make choices when we turn on the box that delivers our television viewing, when we go online to shop, and every […]  My mother was one of the smartest people I’ve ever know, and that’s saying something, because I know some pretty smart people (you know who you are) and I learned a lot from her. Some things I learned because she drilled them into mine and my sibling’s heads on a regular basis, some through observation, […]
 It seems like every day I hear someone else talking about the evils of gluten, or I talk to someone righteously proclaiming they are gluten-free, or someone asks me my advice on whether or not they should give it up. There are hundreds of articles written about the effect of gluten, and it seems to […]
 Another holiday has come along to surprise me! I know many people, way more attentive and organized than I who are always ready for whatever holiday is upon us. Yes, I am generally prepared for things like July fourth, and Thanksgiving, but holidays like Cinco de Mayo always catch me off guard. May fifth is […]

Anna Belle - You would love the movie Fed Up, I think! I was just reading about the 10 day sugar challenge and how bad processed foods can be.
I also wonder if the choice is not really one about money – we can make some pretty nice meals with dry pasta, tomatoes from the garden, tuna fish,… Fresh bread is cheaper than store-bought – home made pizza is a lot cheaper than ordering in.

Thanks for stopping by.
Rhonda - I didn’t know about the Blue Ocean Institute site. That is great! I trust the “fish girl” where we usually shop. She is a great source of information. Last week, however, we picked up some fish we’d never had (and I’d never heard of) at a different store. I just looked it up and got a ton of information on it.

You’re lucky to have “fish girl” most retail workers are clueless, unless you go to places like Whole Foods Market, or a real fish monger.
