I used to think that the little bit we had in our diet wouldn’t hurt us, but now I see that once these toxins are in our system, they don’t go away.

I will keep working on finding was that we can keep ourselves, and our families healthy. In the meantime – eat freshly prepared food as much as possible. I know that making our own mayo or jelly, or even baking our own cookies seems a bit overwhelming when we’re so busy – but I guess better that than dead…
