What is Really in Our Food?

Image via Wikipedia

This is a subject that is pretty important and interesting to me. I have  to admit I went a little to the extreme for awhile with reading labels and stressing over what exactly was in our food. I only shopped at Health Food Stores, bought organic, cut out dairy, and at nothing hydrogenated for almost a decade. A lot of this behavior was because my ex was a total freak when it came to stuff like that. I did have a genuine concern for the safety for my children and myself though. These days I have come to the conclusion that stress is the worst thing for human health and while I still try to stay educated about what is in my food, I don't let it consume me.

I did want to share some interesting videos and websites about the subject for your browsing enjoyment.
