More and more companies seem to be getting rid of trans fats, though, as consumers are demanding it. It is frustrating, isn’t it?

But I read all I can find on nutrition so thanks for all the links in there that I need to research! It is a bit overwhelming as there is so much to learn in the area of health and food... For example, I want to know why manufacturers are not obliged to disclose the hydrogenated fat in their products - at least not here in the UK- when we all know it is SOO bad for your arteries and can never disappear once in... Any link on that? Is there not even a facebook campaign!!!? I'll research too and try and post smthing on travelsaroundmykitchen.blospot.com Diane Hi Lynne

I'm familiar with that philosophy on drinking milk, and it seems to make sense at face value, but I've read many other defenses of drinking cow's (or goat) milk (whole and raw, preferably) that also resonate with me. I don't see our family giving it up any time soon! :-) Glad you're enjoying your EcoBag. I love mine too. Used mine just today! :-) Hey Becky.

I haven't read it myself, but I do know what they preach about milk. I thought you might find it interesting reading. Also, I LOVE my EcoBag! Have fun in Boston, Becky Jo-Lynne,

I've totally been grazing over your posts about healthy eating and such because I wasn't all that interested, but dang girl! You've really got me intrigued now! Some of the stuff I knew - like butter is better than margarine. In fact, as soon as my parents made this discovery years ago, margarine has never since crossed the threshold of our home. But whole milk being better than skim milk? Low fat not good for you? I never thought about this stuff. OF COURSE the original is better for you! If God called it GOOD who are we to argue? I really think you've got something here! So wow, Jo-Lynne.

You can be happy in the knowledge that your milk post started off another "food conversion" on the other side of the world. While you have been stalking Kelly the Kitchen Kop and Cheeseslave, I have been there too (though probably at opposite times, given I'm in Australia. I have beocme slightly (ahem) obessesed as well and have ordered Sally Fallon and Nina Plancks books on Amazon already. Am halfway though a podcast interview with Sally and just ate my first batch of kefir this morning with my bircher muesli! We are a bit luckier here as we just don't have the range of processed foods that you do in the US e.g. I have never heard of EggBeaters, we don't have Coolwhip, so less processed "food" to try and cut out - there's plenty of other stuff though! Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for leading me in the right direction. Cheers Shann - need to make my first batch of Kombucha today ;-) Hey Jo-Lynne,

My mom used to make it when I was little, and I made it early in our marriage. I stopped when my son developed nut and sesame allergies. I guess I need to find a recipe that doesn't contain those, although I think that will be a tall order. Wendy, homemade granola is awesome.
