I could just pull my hair out trying to find the healthiest foods. My goodness (not the word I really want to use but...) I eat fresh they say NO! you have to buy organic. I buy Organic they say you NO! you have to buy locally grown because of the jet fuel being leached into your food when it is flown to Georgia from California. They say buy canned or frozen because fresh foods have no nutritional value because they lose nutrients on the shelfs but canned and frozen are processed just as soon as they are harvested and the nutrients are captured within. Now by "goodness" they are saying NO! don't eat frozen or canned they are in bags or cans lined BPA that can cause all sort of birth defects, heart problems and Diabetes.
Okay I know that the best foods are homegrown organically and home processed the same day you harvest in good old Mason Jars-Oh NO what about the lids- are the lids BPA free, Aluminum free!! I guess for now I will stick with as much organic foods as I can find and afford, and give equal opportunity to fresh, canned and frozen. Maybe I can trick em'

ReplyDeleteI do not eat anything from cans , especially tomatoes. They are acidic and can leach even more of any chemicals they have used in the making of cans or their liners. I actually started buying glass jarred tomatoes through www.iherb.com. the brand name is Eden Foods.
