it’s easy to avoid eating this stuff by getting your food through a CSA share, visiting farmer’s markets for your groceries, and/or growing some of your own fruit, veg, or even chickens for meat or eggs.

great post!

p.s. margarine is also often hydrogenated – this causes the molecules of margarine to actually bind to your cells inside your body and physically change their make up… um, cancer anyone? butter is better! or like you suggested, olive oil.

I’ve never really looked at the ingredient lists on food before but now that i am I’m quite shocked at what I find a lot of the time!
