It’s actually delicious. Our household considers peanut butter its own food group (LOL) and it’s the closest we’ve found to gourmet all-natural peanut butter without the expense. I hope you find it an acceptable alternative.
What a stupid article.
Eating “clean” means trying to eat all edible healthy foods on the planet in their cleanest states, not raw, necessarily, but not dripping with pesticides or filled with artificial flavors and colors. Those three additions to our food supply are NEUROTOXIC and can cumulatively cause brain damage. Slow neurodegenerative damage like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, etc. Don’t touch fake sugars.
It is EASY to have your own diet that you enjoy and still eat clean. The article is wrong. Try to buy veggies and fruits that are organic, not because they are perfect but because they have less NEUROTOXIC pesticides in them. Don’t worry so much about heavily peeled items. Buy organic for the thin skinned things like berries and lettuce. Eat meat and fish and dairy from healthy animals. Feedlot animals are rarely healthy. We do this - it is more expensive but we eat less of it. Avoid most packaged foods. Eat normal rice, not boxes where the rice is covered in msg (every flavored rice is). Put your own actual spices on your own rice. It’s easy.
80%. Don’t stress each time you eat at a friend’s house or restaurant. Eat clean 80% of the time and enjoy your life. Parkinson’s, Gehrig’s and Alzheimer’s aren’t fun for you or your relatives.
Smart man. I had to make a homemade healthful infant formula for my daughter, as I had no breast milk this time around. I used the Weston A Price recipe and she is an amazing child, strong and smart. She loved her formula and it was filled with healthy fats. She drank it for three years. Much better than just plain milk. You can’t get those brain growing years back!
Truth about organic food grown in the USA:
It ain’t perfect. Some things are allowed, and some things are sprayed on the crop next to it and “float over,” some bad things might still be in the soil.
But it is grown without the most pesticides.
TAKE TWO APPLES: the non organic one (unless you know the farmer and his practices) has MORE PESTICIDE than the organic one. Hedge your bets. Buy organic or find your favorite farm.
It’s not about taste or health. It’s about LESS BRAIN POISON.
I agree. I have had a problem with wheat for about 10 years. After eating wheat products my whole life, here in my later years, I have had to give it up.

Well, this is just my own humble input, but I have indeed found carbs to be bad. They make me hungrier and hungrier and hungrier until I feel like a wolf. When I cut them down to near zero, my appetite shrinks, my energy levels stabilize (no more wild ups and down... that means no ups, but oh well.) The weight drops off and I feel like I have myself under control. It works for me, anyway.
Well put. That's pretty much it.
Unless there is an underlying medical problem, like a thyroid condition, it works for everybody. Avoid a lot of carbs, myself. I went from 215 lbs at one point several years ago to a steady 180 now. Some carbs are okay, just don't overindulge. Sugar is not as bad as they used to say when we were kids in the 60's. The real PROBLEM IS HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP and its derivatives, like CORN SYRUP SOLIDS:

That's the HCFS. It's what it does to rats as well as people.......................If you start looking at the ingredients on the labels of many processed foods, you'll find it practically everywhere.
Politics, being what they are, there is no hope for any changes any time soon unless somebody in government gets brave and wants to take on BIG CORN and BIG SUGAR simultaneously. If Moochelle really, really wanted to end child obesity in this country she would do this, but BOTH the GOP and DEMS are in the pockets of the sugar and corn lobby. If we paid what the rest of the world paid for sugar, then we'd be paying about 1/2 of what we now pay and the HFCS would fade away.
Protectionist sugar policy cost Americans $3 billion in 2012:

But, the Corn lobby and the Sugar lobby are hand in hand, although it would seem that they should be against each other. As long as we have the sugar protection racket, er, laws, then the food processors will use HFCS, which makes the Corn lobby very happy...................
I agree. I find a few cups of coffee a day with a bit of sugar in them doesn't mess me up.
Moderation in all things is the key. Too much fat, sugar, carbs like bread and potatoes, can all be bad if over indulged.................
