I really do like it. I'm considering subscribing to it. (I currently don't get any magazines). I always end up picking it up at the store when I see a new one.

Ann, you know, the irony is that when we were strict vegetarian (aka vegan) it was almost impossible to find foods without any dairy or eggs in them. And now that we're not, simply focusing on whole foods, it's impossible to find anything that's “whole” enough to pass our standards! Who knew that non-dairy creamer is actually VERY dairy, and yet also very Franken-foodish? It's a learning curve, I must say!

I ALWAYS read ingredients because my youngest son is allergic to dairy and eggs! Did you know that MOST prepackaged foods have at least 1 of these 2 things in some form or another! I have made a pretty good shift to “healthier” eating over the past year, but sometimes I jsut WANT to eat something bad….like ding dongs, or candy bars! However, since I have been working out and losing weight so well this year I don't like to waste my calories on yucky foods no matter how good they taste, too often!

I agree — it's the organics that are holding us back from going whole hog, so to speak. Also, as former vegetarians, we still eat a lot of soy and tvp foods. I'm slowly working them out of our diets, and trying to replace with organic options. But truthfully, that's really pricey to do for a family of four. After the hubbub from the holidays finishes, I need to get myself to a local bio store (organic) and really price it out.

LOL! Right, but it's better for you than the fake ice cream right? Like she says in the book, if you are going to have your snacks and sweets, make sure they are quality snacks and sweets. We're only human after all!

It's all about the baby steps, no doubt. And I am super impressed that you gave up coffee! Awesome!

We have a local grass fed angus farm, too. I priced it out…wowser. That's the one thing that's stopping me from doing that. I think I'm going to start smaller…organic veggies and snacks. Make what I can, buy organic on the rest.

I totally understand what you mean. I've been focused so long about the points value of food, it didn't matter what it was. It's a big mental shift to start thinking about what the actual food is instead of it's point value. EVERY diet pushes convenience foods. But I'm not on a diet anymore… : )

You really like it? I was thinking about subscribing but it would be another magazine. I already get 6 or 7…
