My newsletter and blog post titled “Food Label Lies” hit a nerve.

I got feedback (boy did I ever).

Actually some was very positive, but others must have thought I was attacking them personally.

It’s not personal – it never is.

My mission is to cut through the garbage, not to offend, but to wake people up and get them to take a look at the habits that may be contributing to less than optimal health.

Some people think we go too far with the “healthy stuff.” That’s ok. We try to eat whole and unprocessed foods, as close to their natural state as possible. I think the evidence is clear this is a healthier way to eat than getting everything out of a box, bag or carton.

When my family goes to dinner or a party at someone else’s house, we eat (and drink) what our host has graciously provided. Granted, if there are “better” choices, we gravitate toward those.

As I said in the first letter, our friends and family are very kind in trying to accomodate our “weirdness”.

We do NOT take that for granted.

The title of this letter is ”You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know”. 

If you don’t have the info, you can’t make an informed choice. Simple as that.

Now you know.
