Production food is pretty disgusting to me at this point. I find packaged food, organic or not to be loaded with sugar or oils that I don't want. I do feel good but I know my current habits won't protect me from past behavior or other dangers. The organic "craze" has lowered the overall quality of organic food because big producers are in the game now and putting the hurt on small producers and refining deceptive descriptions. Also, we had to give up television to make more time to work in the kitchen/yard.
That sounds ideal -- sort of one-step beyond organic...
... I suspect most Americans would not believe it possible to eat like that (at least the ones that I know...)
