A food co-op (when you're a member) is SUCH a better deal than Whole Foods. <br /><br />Glad you're getting the results from the testing back. I'm anxious to see the full results. When are they expected back? Call me!<br /><br />By the way...did I tell you that your brother and me have gone vegetarian for the month of January?

Turns out chocolate is one of the worst things for reflux...it just converts to 100% acid in the stomach. I found out the same way you did yesterday. I got Katie banana cream pudding cups (they're not healthy) when I was desperate for her to gain weight. It worked, she loved them.

Many farmer's markets are folks who buy produce at a distributor and then just resell it (not necessarily home grown, organic, or any better than the grocery store).<br /><br />Here is 2009 information for Sanders Ridge: http://www.sandersridge.com/farm/foodguild_2009.htm<br /><br />And you don't have to battle the crowds at Whole Foods (and organic at any store, could have traveled thousands of miles to get to you, which doesn't make it a whole lot better than anything else). Many local farms also sell meat. Try the farmer's market at Krankies in Winston to purchase real meat that is treated well when alive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252798862549328844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-25792330475702153432010-01-19T09:27:16.263-05:002010-01-19T09:27:16.263-05:00glad you made it to the crazy over priced Whole Fo...glad you made it to the crazy over priced Whole Foods!! But they do have awesome stuff. I wish I could afford to feed our fam all organic but with 6 people to feed on a single income just can't happen. we do eat alot of deer since my husband is a major hunter and we do eat chicken.. i am afraid to watch the video. but knowing me i probably will. that's how i roll! I pray that jonut continues to sleep all night and that he stops gushing up his milk. have you tried almond milk? it is totally yummy and it is milk and whey free. i just thought of that..they have it at wal~mart, publix, kroger, and ofcourse whole foods. keep up the good work Girl~ <br /><br />much love and blessings~erinUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412896087703076658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-54667540410389609782010-01-19T08:55:10.283-05:002010-01-19T08:55:10.283-05:00Ha ha, I upgraded my Blackberry to a Droid Eris af...Ha ha, I upgraded my Blackberry to a Droid Eris after my hubby got a Motorola Droid.

I never understood the draw of a PDA, but now I do. I am gradually getting my calendar, all address and various other info on there.

The aisles are too small, so when people stop to make a choice, the entire system comes to a screeching halt.<br /><br />I had a similar thing happen to me in regards to the quality (or lack thereof) of beef. I read an article in Mother Earth Magazine, and I could not eat beef for weeks after that. We now buy grass fed beef from a small "local" farmer. I drive about 2 hours one way, but we buy it in 1/4 or 1/2 of a cow quantities. This is MUCH cheaper than whole foods.<br /><br />The meat is FABULOUS!! I have never had a pot roast as wonderful as the ones from these cows. You do have to plan ahead more for meals, as you cannot thaw the meat in the microwave, it can be thawed more quickly in cool water. And the steaks have to be tenderized and marinated. I can recommend some recipes and a great tenderizer tool if you decide to got this route.<br /><br />These are two websites that I used to find the supplier I use, and then the article if you want to read it. Good luck with these changes!<br /><br /><br />www.eatwild.com<br /><br />www.localharvest.com<br /><br />http://www.motherearthnews.com/Sustainable-Farming/2008-02-01/What-You-Need-to-Know-About-the-Beef-You-Eat.aspxkatrynkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627642784681329959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-19100798434143337642010-01-19T06:16:19.735-05:002010-01-19T06:16:19.735-05:00Hi Patrice

Hotspot, Lamb3 and Lamc2 were all normal. Then they finaly find the mutation in Lama3. They say it is a Herlitz mutation, so it doesn´t look good. But she had no problem besides the skinn (get). They say that it can be a "splicing" in the mutation IF she doen´t get wors. I know how it is to wait, but even if they find something they can never be 100% sure. <br /><br />I love your blogg and I use to show Elly the pictures on Jonah=)<br />You are doing a great jobb!<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />EmelieEmeliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771151519850806281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-7263693864219013422010-01-18T23:35:11.966-05:002010-01-18T23:35:11.966-05:00Praying that there will be a cure for EB soon!Praying that there will be a cure for EB soon!Beth Herringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360855305173494492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-77814551834043704282010-01-18T23:29:24.157-05:002010-01-18T23:29:24.157-05:00Love you, lady.

I'm just going to take yours/Patrice's word for it! :)<br /><br />Now...glad you made it to Whole Foods, Patrice! I like shopping there, but can't do it often because 1)it's about 30 minutes from my house and 2)it's really expensive! I agree with you- it makes me so mad every time I think about how expensive it is to eat healthy, especially for big families! So I just do what I can with fruits/veggies (some fresh, some frozen) and pray them through the rest.<br /><br />Sorry to rant! I'm also sorry about Jonah's gushers. Will pray that those get under control (and that it really wasn't the chocolate pudding, because that boy needs him some chocolate pudding!)<br /><br />Hope you all rest well this evening.<br /><br />Love from TX!<br />LauraLaura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701139472899714172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-48070239716836025322010-01-18T23:00:20.948-05:002010-01-18T23:00:20.948-05:00The movie is definitely not for the weak of heart....The movie is definitely not for the weak of heart. There were several parts where Justin had to watch and tell me when it was safe for me to look back (and I plugged my ears, too... cause even if it's the nice scene of the happy, healthy farm, I still don't want to hear the chickens getting "prepared." if you know what i mean...)<br /><br />But it's hard eating that way. It's so much more expensive. And even when you're trying, there are a lot of labels that are misleading or confusing and I'm about ready to do the contract thing with local farms to avoid grocery stores for meat and produce and eggs/dairy. We have a Fresh Market right down the road from us, so I've been making more frequent stops there and we spent one night just "browsing" the selections at other high end grocery stores that we normally don't visit (HT and Lowes Foods) and have compiled "our research." It'll probably be a blog post sometime mid-week when I have time to download pictures and write. <br /><br />So in other words--good luck! Don't give up, and I can't wait to stroll down the Farmer's Market with you guys one day this spring :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326031737688016062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-88951697122118827442010-01-18T22:39:20.547-05:002010-01-18T22:39:20.547-05:00Whether he has EB or not, he's THE ONE to you ...Whether he has EB or not, he's THE ONE to you & Matt!<br />Beckie in TNSewconsulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427879934589715958noreply@blogger.com
