I'm in the camp you can't totally avoid sugar and small controlled amounts combined with protien won't kill me. However I also belive when I buy meat I want meat. I don't want tosmething that has been injectted with sugar, salt and every chemical under the sun. Just give me my meat dammit  |
I totally agree with you, LadyBelle!! I've been known to throw a hissy fit in the grocery store at least once a week because I can't find REAL FOOD anywhere! I'm eating low carb to control my blood sugar so that hidden stuff really messes me up! I was so mad when I saw the sugar AND dextrose added to bacon. I'm heading for WalMart to find the brand mentioned here.
I also went on a search for nitrate free bacon and found that Hormel actually sells some.....for like $6 lb.!!! Gotta pay more for leaving the crap out! 
Speaking of unnecessary additions....in all canned tuna packed in water you will find soy and vegetable broth as ingredients. I asked WHY and it seems that Starkist feels the vegetable broth ENHANCES the tuna. WHAT????? I'm beyond crazy with all this. They're trying to kill us...that's got to be it!
