Isn't that funny? People can be just as extreme in the pursuit of losing weight, but not when it comes in pursuing wise food choices for health. :-) Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I am glad that this post encouraged you. I partly wrote it because I needed to remind myself of some facts to encourage myself. ;-) Stephanie,

I "wandered" over here from mommaofmany's blog. We started our food journey in 2006, not because we medically had to but in the desire for something better. I have never expected my extended family to change for us, but I hoped that they would not sabotage us. I am now labeled as the "food snob". Never mind that they are all on atkins and weight watchers and everything else in order to "lose weight". I am simply making a dedicated effort to change the way we live and look at foods. Very frustrating! You have encouraged me!<br/><br/>Stephanie@inspired<br/>www.homeschoolblogger.com/inspired Thanks for a great post! I “wandered” over here from mommaofmany’s blog.

It is a problem and there are not many "talking, blogging" about it. Living a simple/no frills lifestyle, either by choice or not...feeding a family "quality/healthy" meals is quite an expense and any info on achieving this will be great. I have no real answers since I only have to worry about a 2 person household...and I "chose" to live very simple. But none the less my heart goes out to all you cannot afford "good eats". THX for letting me vent some.<br/>Peace from Oregon Thx Kimi for your response and I will be looking forward to addressing this issue.

My grandmother thinks I am stupid and extreme for buying organic produce. I point out that when she grew up on her parent's farm in the 20's and 30's, she ate organic foods.... because that is the way it just WAS. She still thinks I'm stupid, lol. Great post.

But it's true that those with lower incomes won't be able to afford what higher income families can. It's an indisputable fact! I know that I sure wish I could afford certain more expensive foods. <br/><br/>There is no easy answer, but there are certain things we can try to do to have the best health we can afford. :-) Sage Whiteowl,

Many people have LOW incomes & want to eat healthy. Most "healthy" products are quite expensive or not available. Too sum it all up...even cooking from scratch & with the healthy ingredients, is a cost that low incomes can not afford. What can they do? Thanks and I enjoy your blog very much.

I don't think you're extreme at all. The other day when I read the ingredients on a package of Thomas' Toast R Cakes Corn Muffins I was disgusted. High Fructose Corn Syrup was the first ingredient. Even my husband - who usually doesn't care about this stuff at all - was surprised. I went home and made some homemade with wholesome ingredients. They turned out better than the store bought! For the recipe, go to:<br/><br/>http://marysnest.typepad.com/marys_nest/2008/08/remembering-tho.html<br/><br/>All the best,<br/><br/>Mary Oh my goodness…I couldn’t agree more.

I must say, though, that I have been blessed with people around us who believe in nourishing our bodies and taking care of them and so not only do they not think we're "weird" but we are able to encourage and glean from one another - what a joy that is! My dh and I laugh sometimes when people see us lugging in our cooler(s) while we travel - you should see the faces. . . yep, we load them up with our organic, pasture-fed meats, organic and straight-from-the-farm eggs, raw milk and cream and all the organic produce and homemade breads we can fit in there! lol ;-) Thank you for this blog and the wonderful recipes you take such effort and time to share - our family loves them! :-) God bless you and yours!

It's so true, isn't it? Bad food is everywhere! <br/><br/>Maggie, <br/> That is a great question, but it needs a long answer. I will try to get back to you soon, when I have a few moments. :-) Everyone,
