I think many people are starting to wa...Great work. I think many people are starting to wake up to all the junk in our food. Hmmmmm, Or maybe I just notice it more....Gosh, hope it's the first one!!<br /><br />The organic milk is a great step in the right direction. I wonder if it is also non-homogenised? Or unpasteurised? Perhaps in your following posts you could touch on the health benefits of drinking non-homogenised milk (and butter, and cheese, and everything else, really!). Unpasteurised is even better - the way our grandparents drank it, straight from the cow.<br /><br />Keep up the great work! I am also trying to do the same things - clean up our diet, while sticking to some semblence of a budget. I can see I'm going to have to grow more of my own, in order to achieve this.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01657019147960067075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-77667068142892857882010-08-06T05:14:17.847-07:002010-08-06T05:14:17.847-07:00I found you on "New Friend Friday"...and...I found you on "New Friend Friday"...and had to tell you I loved reading your posts! I would definitely like to hear more about "clean eating"...I have heard bits and pieces here and there...but would love to hear it from someone who is at a similar stage of life!

Ethan doesn't eat any sugar (even organic cane) and I can't find a pasta sauce that fits the bill. I have a homemade recipe, but seriously, sometimes it's nice to open a jar...<br /><br />As for milk, we have two people and two kinds of milk, so I totally understand. Ethan drinks raw whole (I pick it up every other week from a farmer) and I drink organic skim (from the store).Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239564118619949114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-27877368023811915112010-08-05T16:55:57.233-07:002010-08-05T16:55:57.233-07:00I would love to read that blog!

But can't give up certain things like my coffee and my creamer. But any advice you can offer would be wonderful. I'd love to stop buying processed stuff for my kids too but it's hard cause so many kids snacks are processed items. I also want to find ways to remove so much sugar from our diets. <br />Thanks for any thoughts and advice you can offer! =)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15075552196699769073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-2433870314187410192010-08-04T08:32:26.984-07:002010-08-04T08:32:26.984-07:00Great post--I love the specific examples you share...Great post--I love the specific examples you share. I need to look into the baking powder/aluminum thing, I wasn't aware of it. As for the cool whip, I was awfully discouraged the day I actually read the ingredients in it. I love that stuff, but like you am only making my own now. :-) I'd love to hear how you started out.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13791249950444252618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-17624597518652172392010-08-04T07:59:07.364-07:002010-08-04T07:59:07.364-07:00I love reading about your clean eating!

We only eat organic meat/fruits/vegetables and only drink organic milks (weird that your hubby says it tastes different - I don't notice at all, but then again I'm not a huge milk drinker) but some of the other products you point out I need to look into. The baking powder really piqued my interest - aluminum? Not that I do a lot of baking but there is a huge link to cancer w/ aluminum so I will definitely be checking that out. Our food bills are pretty normal because I buy a lot of the organic stuff in bulk @ Costco - they have come a LONG way in the amount of organics they carry! <br /><br />Anyway, love these posts and following along! This mommy is determined to make sure her babies bodies are as clean as possible :) Too bad mine LOVE sugar!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123426867747515816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058926948643949828.post-15811837103784066212010-08-04T07:29:07.205-07:002010-08-04T07:29:07.205-07:00I love homemade whip cream!

I want to do whats best for my child, and I know there are things that are just horrible wrong with the food that we as Americans eat on a daily basis. I have made small changes, mostly the ones that my husband can't tell the difference on :) I have a 13 month old son, and my perspective on food has just totally changed in the past year as I think about what I am putting into him. <br /><br />On a side not, I adore your morning cookie... it's kinda become my morning cookie too - it makes me feel so much better throughout the day than the stuff I was eating before. <br /><br />And I love your blog - without going into details, we actually went to school together - I was a couple years behind you though - when I stumbled onto your blog (through the internet, without any connection through the past) I thought it was hilarious that our lives seemed so similar - between the ages of our sons and both living in PA now (although not for long stinker) and our walk in the faith and the thriftyness. I am so glad God connected me to your blog - it's been a refreshing welcome to me readings :) God Bless!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06175925863046111468noreply@blogger.com
