What's left to eat?

I've given up beef years ago gave up pork more recently, my friend who works selling fish says only eat the big fish) once a month. I was married to a woman from Lithuania, we lived in the US, she taught me more than I could of imagined about food. Now, I eat all organic foods (when possible), no GMO, (genetically modified organism). I realize in Europe that you got your sh#@ together. You don't allow GMO and pesticides doesn't seem to be as needed there as they are here. I never knew how fulfilling and healthy nuts are, I now buy 20 pounds of organic almonds at a time. I bake my own bread....have you seen all the ingredients in bread?? I use organic flour from Italy, yeast, raisins, sunflower seeds, a little salt and water and some honey....that's it.....ever look at the ingredients for bread must be over 50 and 40 of the words I can't even pronounce....

We're slowly being poisoned by what we eat......we need to take back control.........barf

Does it cost more? Absolutely. But to have the quality of life in the long run is worth it's weight in gold.....my luck I'll get hit by a bus.

idk sands, based on what you're sayin' it sounds like with your luck, you won't get hit by a bus laugh

but it is true.. for now, we have to pay more to avoid poisoning.

it's a bummer but in the mean time, care for a slice of organic cheese veggie pizza? pizza
There are no hormones used for milk and beef production in the EU. I do eat beef and drink milk, I come from a farm and know how it is produced. I watch what I eat and prefer cooking myself.

Seeing the problem the health system will be facing with people getting older, obesity is a problem and eating the right food could prevent so much and increase the quality of life - it's just easier to pop a pill or get some fast food for so many people. doh
Oh what I wouldn't do for a slice of pizza....but, if I have cheese it will be organic and goat at that....cheese is one of the worst things we can consume. frustrated
KN, we load our cows up with so many hormones that the thought of eating or drinking these additives is downright foolish.....hormones to make them fatter quicker so they can get them to slaughter faster with less cost of feed. But, the price of beef keeps going higher and higher how can this be?doh
Titania, my mom was a chocoholic, when she got lung cancer and survived for 25 years the doctor said he could see the letter H in each of her cancer cells (H stood for the chocolate she loved Hersheys)....he attributed her survival to the chocolate.....dunno

I dunno, I prefer beef to pork and the nicest was our own one (and we knew how it was fed etc.).

Some people get away with an unhealthy lifestyle, some don't.

I don't. dunno
KN, One of the big problems I see here is that most livestock are feed corn....Corn is GMO here.......they got you coming and going.....
I still work in the ag field, things like glyphosate seem to cause more and more problems - and that's just one out of many.
Ah, another Monsanto product......Dec 26, 2014 - Evidence points to glyphosate toxicity from the overuse of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide on our food.........Could never imagine working for that company, and ironically I bet the current employees think they are performing a service to our world.....devil
Companies are there to make money - people shouldn't be sheep, it's easy to get informed these days.

Not always the easiest way is the best (as in healthiest)
true, but in this hurry up world fastest is equated to the best. Thanks to the wife I don't use my microwave anymore.....we get used to what's easiest and quickest and more than not that's the wrong alternative.....but, think about it, faster computers, faster charging of phones, faster cars, faster women..(just seeing if your reading every word)laugh faster internet, faster faster faster......
I occasionally like to slow down. grin

I think there is a reason when people start to do research about food, lifestyle changes etc. It was for me, but I know what works for me and I try to life reasonably healthy.
I can't get beautifulyou pic of that pizza out of my mind....what to do?pizza pizza pizza
Invite the lady out to have some organic pizza. wink
I am sitting here, eating my pizza, surrounded by invisible pulsating electromagnetic waves, sipping hormone laced milk and smoking a cigarette and wondering if I will have enough room for some chemically laced cherry pie later. laugh
Luckily our meat is still good here and cows and sheep still walk in pastures and eat good healthy grass as they should.
Men, when you shut the lights at night do you notice this errie glow?

wow
Ek, that's great to hear as long as they don't fertilize the grass so it grows faster do they eat more so they slaughter faster and you know the routine.grin
That should have said ken, but this tablet has a mind of its own.
that Glow is from too many X-Rays being taken!grin
LoL, actually I thought the glow was from the plutonium sample on my bedroom dresser reacting with U 235 sample sitting next to it. Downstairs, from the radioactive component in the old Radiac.
I'm trying to avoid beef...i'm more on sea foods and veggies but I have a son who loves beef and chicken...trying to put him on diet and more on raw veggies and fruits these days...sigh
I love food! I enjoy cooking it or having it cooked for me. Restaurant food is okay once in awhile for me, but I notice that it isn't very good most of the time. sigh

I loathe Monsanto and all the other large corporations that are taking away our health and our middle class and our freedom.

I buy organic for my health but also because I choose to vote with my dollars.
it's not easy to change your lifestyle of eating habits, but it can be done. as they say knowledge is power and I find it frustrating that our country bends the envelope as far and sometimes further than what they should. I lived in Europe for a few months and I must say I really enjoyed listening to people talk about natural nature. Foods that are free of pesticides and just plain ole wholesome diets....thanks you all for your contributions......
Gypsy, I just saw your comment after I posted my last one. One thing that my European wife did was to cut out eating out often. Now, I'm not talking fast food, I'm talking quality restaurants. At home we didn't add salt to anything just what was naturally within each food (and surprisingly there's a lot of natural salt). Now, we actually don't look forward in eating out because we know we will be up all night drinking water, due to the heavy amount of salt restaurants use. Like I said you can change your eating style....if one chooses....
