Do You Know What You're Eating?

After reading the Top 10 Dirtiest Foods in Grey_Biker's latest column, it reminded me of something I read in one of Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D.'s books a few years ago.    Since I'm in the middle of packing, and have already packed all of the libraries throughout the house, I knew that the book was long-since packed.    I decided to search Dr. Weil's site to see if I could find the list of fruits and vegetables that he ranked as the worst (due to pesticides, growing procedures, processing procedures, country/import, etc.).    Although I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, I did find the following:

Food Safety: Making Wise Choices; and

Forbidden Fruit, Illegal Pesticides in the US Food Supply (from the Environmental Working Group - link suggested by Dr. Weil).

Also, I found Dr. Weil's suggestions for Stocking The Pantry.

I truly try to eat healthy but, in all honesty, eating well takes a LOT of time, effort, prep work AND it costs a lot more money than junk food, fast food, and processed foods!    By the time you buy organic ($$$$ cha-ching!), slice, dice, chop, hop, etc., and roast, grill, sautee, broil or whatever . . . you're just too tired and too broke to eat!

current mood:    Wishing healthier was easier
current music:    Rain on the tin roof
