But, there also seem to be processed foods that aren't necessarily bad: frozen peas or dried fruits that last longer than the organic stuff, or shit - Twizzlers!(So many calories fewer than a slice of vegan chocholate cake.)<br /><br />Also, what is non-processed? Pasta is processed, as is regular milk, and wine....<br /><br />Giving up these foods is a life I refuse to lead. :)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771292943178862233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419583064618244367.post-44921876068722824972012-03-01T09:59:26.169-08:002012-03-01T09:59:26.169-08:00I often think the same thing. Just what is "...I often think the same thing. Just what is "fast food"? It's such a vague moniker. Like we can somehow put all the disgusting-ness of McD's and Jack in the Box in the same category as Erik's DeliCafe and ToGo’s. Never made sense to me either. <br /><br />I personally think a better way to think about it is "whole, natural, non-processed foods" versus "processed, refined, mechanically separated and reconstituted, reformulated, artificially flavored foods”. Or, fresh versus from a can or box.<br /><br />And you’re right. It does take more work. But all it is really is creating good habits. Weekly trips to the farmers market. Buying the same foods at the grocery store, but choosing the fresh, (and local if possible) option rather than the canned or boxed version that comes from who-knows-where. <br /><br />It does take a little extra effort and thought, but it’s our lives. It’s worth it!Erik Dabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832428562431477119noreply@blogger.com
