Careful with money, but I don't scrimp on certain things, I buy Campbells soups, Adluh flour, Domino or Dixie Crystals sugar etc, and if I fix a roast I buy chuck or bottom round.ONLY whole milk or buttermilk, none of that nasty 1 percent or skim..LOL |

is that apparently it's all reduced to skim, then the proper amount of butterfat is just added back in to make it whatever fat level they need. |

johnrk...
You are correct in every word you wrote. Dr.s know crap about nutrition. When I was doing a small tour of Chemo, the waiting room was filled with Soda, Fruit Juice, Crackers, Non Dairy Creamer for coffee and Candy. All sugars which Cancer loves. Makes me furious when they are serving this crap to sick people. I give a list of supplements and the outline of my diet when I go to a new Dr. and they just look at it and either toss it aside (which to me just confirms they are on the take from Big Pharma) or comment... "You don't need to take all that stuff... it just makes for expensive urine." "Horse Puckey" I say to them. I have immune system issues, lymphadema in my legs and a few other problems and if I ate a steady diet of junk I believe I wouldn't be here today BJs... I buy what I call "Nuts and Bolts". That would be Carrots, Potatoes, Green Beans, Fresh Garlic (not the crap grown in China)Romaine Hearts, Apples,Butter, Coconut Oil, and it's Organic. Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs are a 18 each carton for $6.79. There are more and more Organics appearing on shelves and coolers. Whole Foods. Despite it's nickname as Whole Paycheck, Any vegetable that I am going to consume Raw or Juice. Then watch the sales. Their canned Organic products are 100% competitive with other stores. WF has some of the best tasting Pork I have had in years. I do enjoy beef once in awhile and my friend is the Meat and Seafood Manager at Whole Foods. He will make 8-10 Cube Steaks for me and individually wrap in freezer paper for me. Each one is about 4-6 oz. and that's plenty for me these days. Stop and Shop or Market Basket I watch for sales. That's why it's called "Shopping". : ) |

It's funny, because I sometimes agree that eating healthfully is expensive, and at other times the idea makes my blood boil...
It's expensive in that some foods are not exactly cheap at the grocery store. And it's also expensive in the sense that one could eat for absolute minimum survival for less than eating healthfully.
But...I do buy into the idea that if one thinks eating healthfully is expensive one should price the cost of medical treatment for diseases that could be avoided with a good diet.
Indeed, I've noticed that I feel better when I'm eating reasonably well.

just finished up 27 weeks of radiation and 8 rounds of chemo 2 weeks ago. in a month or so they are going to check and see if they got it all. one test involves a dye and glucose solution in my veins and see where it goes. cancer loves sugar. |

A few weeks ago I bumped into them in the local H-E-B. I swear, they must've had 50 of those little 'Lunchables' in that cart, piles of boxed and processed foods. No, I didn't comment--but I'll be damned if I float them any more food in the future. It's just pure laziness and stupidity.
I can't comment about this specific incident. But I'm sure it's common sight seeing people who are financially limited buying all sorts of processed crap. One real problem is that we have a country full of people who can't do anything in the kitchen but nuke something in the microwave. This is probably not a good situation in general--but it becomes dire, I think, with people who have seriously limited budgets. People with a good budget can at least afford "healthy" processed/prepared items (e.g., organic frozen dinners).
What is sad, too, is there are times when people with very seriously limited budgets have crap practically shoved down their throats. Someone I talked with a year back talked about a food bank in his area. Some of what they gave away regularly appalled him. (I can't remember any specifics. But when I had a better budget, I'd sometimes buy an extra item to donate to the local food bank collection barrel that my grocery store typically had in December. I was often horrified by what I saw in that barrel. And I seem to recall hearing kids laugh about donating a ton of Top Ramen during school food drives. It was cheap, and got the class closer to the prize pizza party...) I'm sure he'd recognize that something might be better than nothing sometimes. But he voiced concerns about the nutritional realities long term, particularly on children. |
