Here is another angle to consider, that I am increasingly curious about:

What if the foods themselves are not what is causing problems with

food sensitivities? What if it is because of the additives and

hormones that are being put into the food?

This is not the first time, nor the last, that I will have heard about

poisons or contaminants in our food supply. It's also not the first

time I have heard about the FDA, EPA and other " A " 's having somehow

conveniently overlooked whether a certain substance in the food, or in

our environment, is dangerous. Funny how they seem to have such

relaxed standards on certain things, isn't it?

There's a movie out now called " Food, Inc. " that follows a similar

vein to the book, " Omnivore's Dilemma " . It would be a good intro to

industrial agriculture and food production practices, for those of you

who haven't yet learned about where a lot of our available food

sources come from.

I'm lucky enough to live in a city where organic food is readily

available at many of our local grocery stores, and where " Locally

produced " , " organic " and " sustainable practice " are selling points at

many of our restaurants. If you don't live someplace where these

things are common, get out there and demand them! It could help save

the health of you and your family.

Getting off the soap box now,

Serena
