They're voluntarily switching out those bad ingredients? Would someone please let me know when they do that for Skippy peanut butter and Nabisco crackers? We're suffering from withdrawal here in the Diva/Companion household since giving up trans fats. It's just heartbreaking when Magnus looks up at me with those saucer blue eyes and says, "We need to get some Wheat Thins at the store."

We've also been cutting back on the simple carbs--well, the starches anyway, if not the straight sugars. Damned if I'm going to give up my premium ice cream--but that's not so bad because the carbs are balanced by lots of fat and some protein (I did, however, cut back to one scoop--about the size of a "serving"--per sitting). No more white rice (risotto as an occasional treat), potatoes, pasta, or white bread.

We've also been trying to get more and better protein--grass-fed organic beef, pork, chicken and lamb, wild salmon. I feel lots better, am very gradually losing weight, and I break out less.

You're nuts. Eat some good stuff and some bad stuff and exercise. I should write a book, except it would only be that long.
