Why this all started...

Some background to my research:
 I started investigating healthy living when my boyfriend (now husband) was having problems with his digestion. He had a lot of blotting and discomfort along with nausea. Now he has done martial arts for years and works out 4 or 5 times a week and this issue was putting a stop to his training. My husband has done research and had books on healthy living from Christian authors. So that's where I began.
 I began my research with the stores. I compared prices and ingredients on all organic products at my local grocery stores and all natural markets. I was on a tight budget too, so I had to find the best deals! After finding that it was actually easy to find healthy, all natural and organic foods at Meijer, Walmart and Kroger. I began trying to find what foods to consume and which to avoid.
 My list now is pretty extensive but I have a few top things that I don't bring in to my kitchen.
1. No Hydrogenated Oils- fully or partially
-This is hard because when you start looking for this, it's in everything that we consume. This is what we know as "Trans fats". This is very very unhealthy and not a God made thing! These oils are what makes things last longer and cause you, the consumer to become fat! (Which in turn, causes other health issues!)
2.No High Fructose Corn Syrup
-This again is in everything! I don't care for corn much anyway because our body's process it like sugar but high fructose corn syrup is again man altered and that can't be healthy!
3. No sodium Nitrate
-This is bad news for you arteries! It's man-made again and helps to preserve meats.
God wants us to eat fresh, real stuff, not stuff that can sit on your shelf for 4 years and still be eaten!
That's way I mainly shop on the outside of the grocery store!

The Beginning...
