Avioiding processed foods of any kind, has got to be the best decision we could make for ourselves :-)
I know it was months before I read TSP that I realized the best food in the supermarket is all on the outside :-)
That makes it pretty easy shopping.
On the Margerine note, my sister and I were noting that its actually hard to get ahold of REAL margerine and that compared to the Spreads out there ( and MOST Of them are NOT ever REAL margerine) it had better texture and flavor.. but even then. BUTTEr is better.
Look at it this way.. one of my favorite high carb foods was chocolate Chip cookies..and the BEST ones out there are made with BUTTER... not Margering or shortening.
