I JUST started trying to eat more whole, less processed foods, THIS week. I've been having lots of digestive issues, and found out I'm high risk for colon cancer (even though no one in my family has had it) and I'm only in my 20's. There's so much information out there, it's sort of overwhelming. There's only a few parts that are going to be difficult for me, which are going out with friends/family, the cost, and switching milk. I've drank skim milk all my life, and I don't see switching anytime soon. That'll probably be one of my last changes. :) Thanks for your blog! I'm making the chicken stock recipe tonight, which is how I found you. I look forward to reading more entries. This is super inspiring!

My family already thought I was crazy when I decided to breastfeed and use cloth diapers. Now that I've had my food conversion they think I'm crazy for drinking raw milk and making as much of my own food as possible. We haven't decided to give up celebrating Christmas, but we will be doing things different this year. I hate the commercialization of Christmas and the whole "Believe" campaign that they have with Santa Claus really irks me. Anyway, I finally decided to comment on this post to tell you that I am totally using the “Did God make a mistake when He created our food?” one on my mother-in-law. I tried to convince her to drink our milk when she was down visiting, and she totally refused saying that she couldn't possibly drink all that fat, and then she went to the store and bought her own skim milk to drink. Yuck! I am so thankful that I found Nourishing Traditions and it has been a whirlwind change in the last four months, we are now almost totally converted and I have finally gotten the last of the bad stuff out of my kitchen. My next task to tackle is the toxic chemicals that have stacked up in our garage and my cleaning and personal care supplies. I'm hoping to read more helpful tips as I continue reading along. Sorry for the long comment, but I felt a connection, and I wanted to share. Blessings, Amanda Hi Shannon,

I too have been on a healthy journey for a while and am SLOWLY getting closer and closer to how God intended us to eat. Well let's be honest, I may never get there completely, but I'm trying! Thank you for sharing your journey, it was very encouraging! :) Thank you for sharing your journey with food.

So I would like to thank you so very much for a wonderful and inspiring post. Your blog is an amazing resource.

Tomorrow is my grocery day and I want to start a move towards more whole/nourishing foods in our family. I ordered the book Nourishing Traditions and can't wait till it arrives! I tried raw milk in the summer but I thought it had a really strong... cow... taste. It was like I was licking a cow, seriously. Did I just get a bad batch or does it actually taste like that, and if so do you ever get used to the cow taste? I'd like to go back to raw milk but *shudder* I love reading this post, I’ve read it a few times now and have it bookmarked.
