Real Food

How real is our food?

When my son was about 2 years old I discovered that food additives, preservatives, colours, flavours and the like affected his behaviour. At that time I began to change the way I viewed and approached "food". Much of what is marketed, produced and sold as food has no food in it.

My basic guidelines are:

• If it has more than a few simple ingredients
• If it has ingredients represented by numbers
• If it has ingredients with scientific, unpronounceable names

IT IS NOT  FOOD

That doesn't mean that I never buy, serve or eat processed food. It means that for the majority of the time I endeavour to feed myself and my family what our bodies are designed to eat - real food. As fresh as possible, as unprocessed as possible and as delicious as possible. :)

This is my journey.
