Definitely will not read this article. We really try to eat organic and healthy....but some pre-packaged food find their way into our cabinets. Will keep my head in the sand on this one!!!

I read something about how many spiders we swallow while sleeping and I believe it. I once read a consumer report magazine about jelly and preserves and the percentage of bugs ground up in the jars, didn't buy any for a long long time.

I had a certified nutritionist tell me years ago "If you can't tell what it was when it grew, don't eat it." Makes it easy to stick to healthier eating. (Have you ever seen a pasta or bread tree? Me neither.). I also like the warning "If you can't pronounce it, dont

It is foraged from the seaside, and does need rinsing to remove the taste of the sea. As with other things in life, this knowledge often disappears in a generation.
