I should have posted this first so it would not take away from the work we've done...but I was still gagging on information (hence the green font color lol)...
I've been looking at ingredients in bread and other things....the whole human hair dissolved in acid (l-cysteine) and added to some bread products has my stomach revolting in horror. Who doesn't gag at hair in their food? Reading that little tidbit only led to more articles about disgusting things being done to and added to processed foods. I read that article about the same time as the news of a certain fast food restaurant's pink slime meat came out...they said they don't use that stuff anymore but *@#& why was it ever used in the first place?
We were already eating more natural than most people I know, but now it will be even more so. We already avoid almost all canned foods and many other processed ready to eat foods because of cost, salt content, high fructose corn syrup (I don't care what they say about it just being another type of sugar, it makes me physically ill), and very low nutritional values. We don't microwave foods in any type of plastic container at all (that includes so-called microwave safe plastic crap) and we don't use non-stick cookware.
I can make some pretty awesome bread, so I've decided to start making it on a regular basis. I am, however, having a hard time finding loaf pans locally that AREN'T non-stick coated. I've seen plenty of glass and ceramic options, so maybe I can try one of those. In the meantime, it will look more artesenal (flatter, rounded, but yummy). I bet now that I'm grossed out to the point I can't even glance in the direction of a plastic container filled with food without my stomach turning, losing weight will become easier lol.
No more convenience at all for anything fattening....that stuff has to be made homemade which takes time and effort (calories burned making it) blah blah blah lol. To clarify: I think a lot of healthier lower calorie items are very convenient in their natural state or with little preparation. The temptations of more fattening items will now be balanced with the time and effort to make them.
Now to enjoy my fruit for breakfast.
