CQ - 7/22/10

My god woman! The jellyfish seem to really like you. I hope you feel better soon.

With the not knowing whats in your food thing cause of the language barrier: I try and avoid any sort of packaged food all together. Usually nothing good for you comes in a package. My exception is probably noodles and rice and beans. Flour (I get unbleached). Broth. Soy/rice/almond milk (I actually saw a recipe for making almond milk from scratch and am going to try it). And sauce if I'm too unmotivated or incompetent to make it from scratch. And icecream. If I get icecream I try and get it with ingredients in it I can pronounce. The quest continues though. I always find grocery shopping so overwhelming. Do I do organic? Do I not do organic? What sort of item is it? What is organic really anyways? I mean, say a carrot is labeled organic. It grew in the ground. I am going to assume here they didn't use pesticides on it. But what sort of fertilizer did they use? Where did it get its water from? What is in our rain water if it got that? What is really in the soil its grown in? And if I eat one thing that is labeled organic and the other things I eat aren't, what are the consequences? It's like a 20 questions game. (Does it make sense why I avoid the grocery store?).

Did you know that there was something on the news recently about the lining of things that come in cans (like canned fruits and vegetables and soda)? I want to say it had something to do with BPA's (cancer causing plastics) being in it, but don't quote me on that.

MAN! WHAT is in our foooooood? What are we eating?

It makes me want to become a vegan, buy a farm somewhere and grow all my food on my land.
