I am late to the clean eating party but I'm determined to make improvements in my eating habits and those of my family -- my husband and kids.<br /><br />But also going back a generation, to my parents. They've always been mindful of fitness, but now I'm sharing with them what I know about convenience foods and GMO and preservatives, etc. In addition to preventing allergies in my kids, we'd like to stave off Alzheimers and other maladies for my parents. And myself!<br /><br />Great post. You're making me think more about meat.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146102599533184840.post-81606939464011888222011-09-10T10:23:40.822-05:002011-09-10T10:23:40.822-05:00Great post!

I believe we should use those brains to make responsible choices. For me this means free-range and organic (as much as possible, the choices here are much more limited than they were in Australia for those two things as well as healthy celiac foods, much more celiac junk-foods though!). I totally respect vegetarians for going that extra mile. I should really work more vegetarian recipes into my repertoire.<br /><br />I'd love to see your post on raising LM veg. Mostly because I'd love to know what proteins you're giving him as our little one isn't a big fan of meat so I'm trying to figure out other ways to get protein in there! I'll have to check out your links...Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401959601528928451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146102599533184840.post-71796333040638257342011-09-10T07:04:10.570-05:002011-09-10T07:04:10.570-05:00My husband became a vegetarian a couple of years a...My husband became a vegetarian a couple of years ago. I was a little annoyed at first because it meant I had to also, or we had to prepare separate meals. Now I have to say - I don't miss meat at home at all. I still eat it when we go to restaurants (sometimes), but we have found so many great veggie recipes to prepare.

Food is the biggest thing on our household budget and eating fresh, whole foods can be pricey. But I believe we'll pay one way or another--either spending on the front end for whole and healthy foods, or pay later with medical expenses as a result of bad eating habits. Sounds like you found what works for you and glad you are feeling great!Pixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742248761172865856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146102599533184840.post-7557183166265365192011-09-09T11:43:56.048-05:002011-09-09T11:43:56.048-05:00LOVE this post.

I then went vegan, and then raw. I have to say that on a raw food diet I was the most unhealthy and sickly I have ever been. I followed all the requirements and supplements but I just got sicker and sicker. Then I was told I had Celiacs...went gluten free for nearly a year and added meat back into my diet because I just couldn't figure out what else to eat! Then got told I didn't have Celiacs...<br /><br />Whew! Just a big ole mess!<br /><br />Now I've found that eating simple, whole, and organic (when our adoption budget allow) keeps me feeling at my best. I eat a primarily vegetarian diet though I do have meat on occasion. <br /><br />It's all about what works for you! I couldn't agree more with you on the hormones and crap in food...just gross.<br /><br />Brooke<br />www.TheAnnessaFamily.blogspot.comThe Annessa Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929967116411498173noreply@blogger.com
