Wow! The first time I have agreed with an entire thread! The line between artificial and natural has to be drawn for each on his own. I'm sitting here with a wireless laptop and a space heater at my feet, talk about an artificial environment. I can just imagine what fields are surrounding me and going through me!

I do take food, especially carbs, more seriously now that I am LCing. I try to get nutrition out of my carb choices whenever possible and avoid the things that stall me, of course. It takes time to find them, but they are out there - even artificial ones. I do second the thing on trans fats. In time more goodies will be made without them. Support the companies that are on the right path and don't throw your money away to the strayers.
