yea! for the no junk food support group

[Guest guest]

that's why it's so good to have support when going

against the majority.

and 'books' like bee wilder gave us in our 'files'

here in the group help keep our strength while

swimming up stream.

do you realize how much time and money is spent on

programing our children to eat all that sugary crap?

we have to make eating right 'cool' so the rest of the

world follows us.

for the children.

peace,

gina

My 4 year old asks me questions all the time about what's good for us and

what's not- because he's heard me say that such and such isn't good for you

and that's why we only have it every once and a while. We plan to

homeschool, so hopefully a lot of the influence and junk that they get fed

at school will be avoided. But my family...they fill them with junk whenever

possible. My sister who is killing herself with diet coke started to give my

son a sip of it right in front of me! What's worse is that he and my husband

are highly reactive to aspartame. It could have killed him!

(By the way... short story... my sister gave my son some of that bubble

tape, I think it was Hubba Bubba, maybe? It was made by Wrigley's. Before I

knew it he had chewed up the whole thing. I found this out because he had a

rash all of a sudden all over and I was trying to figure out what it was

from. The gum was the only thing he had never had before, and guess what?

Though it's not labeled " sugar free " in very small letters on the back it

lists aspartame in the ingredients. It's not sugar-free, but they add the

aspartame because it helps bring out the flavor, more so than sugar. Found

that out when I blasted Wrigley's for using it. Be VERY careful!)

The food industries are slowly moving towards using Splenda (sucralose). I'm

very sensitive to aspartame, and Splenda doesn't affect me. Splenda is starting

to pop up everywhere. The only soda I will drink is Diet Rite (no aspartame,

carbs, or caffeine). They've even come out with a whole line of flavors other

than cola. I can't believe the crap that companies have been getting away with

for years using aspartame. Hopefully aspartame used in foods will be a distant

memory soon. It is a well-documented neurotoxin. It gives me massive headaches

along with a whole slew of other symptoms. Don't even get me started on

MSG......

Yep, even diet coke is switching over. Rather silently, probably so they

don't have to admit they've been killing people for years. I am leery of

splenda as well, and try to eat whole, natural foods as much as possible.

TRY is the operative word! lol

That would make me furious if my family knew my wishes and still gave that

stuff to my kids. I even layed the law down at youth group because they

would always bring crap for the kids to eat. I told them don't even think

about giving that to my kids. The I was labeled as the sugar Nazi, but I don

t care, let them eat themselves to death. It is really hard once your kids

are teenagers because they have that whole attitude of not caring about the

future and I am never going to die attitude. SO even though I preach healthy

eating all day, they always buy garbage when they go out with friends! At

least some day down the road they will have the knowledge to fall back on

when health becomes important to them.

Have you also heard the bad press about Splenda? Maybe you don't want to

hear, but it has its own set of problems. Why not just give up things that

need to be sweet. Drink water instead of soda, it does not take that much to

break the habit. Whether or not they have aspartame in the soda is only part

of the problem, what about the high phosphorus content, and the aluminum in

the cans, and the colorings and flavor. Soda, french fries and donuts should

never touch anyones lips that wants to be healthy. Look up the dangers of

sucralose on the interernet.

Last summer we went to FL and stayed w/ my husband's parents, his sister and

her family. He gave them some money for food and told them what we needed

for the kids. Mostly organic cheese, organic milk, etc. Did they get it? NO!

Said it was too expensive. So? This coming from people who retired into a

$270,000 home (in TN, not some expensive place like CA). These are the same

people who constantly complain but then don't listen. Or they think their

doctors know so much more. Then when we say our dr. friend said such and

such... " how do you know he knows what he's talking about? " And these are not

teenagers...they're adults! lol

I've decided that we are each handed certain information at certain times

and what we do with that will make us or break us. Those who choose not to

change will either take years off of their lives or get a number of lessons

until they finally realize they need to change. I've had so much handed to

me over the last 2 years I feel so truly blessed. And it's all come from

different areas of my life and different sources. So when I educate somebody

on something and they scoff at it...I know it's at least a seed. Even with

our own children!

I agree. I've got mixed reviews on Splenda, but that's not the only worry

with soda.
