Natural, pure ingredients cost a little more than sugar and white flour, but if you don't take care of your body, where will you live? You only get out of your body what you put into it. Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you what you are.

To make a point, I'm going to tell you a shortened version of a famous study on nutrition, using cats. A healthy female cat, fed nutritious food and drink, gave birth to four kittens. Two cats were taken away and fed the same nutritious food and drink, gave birth to healthy kittens, stayed healthy in old age, as did generation after generation. All were fed the good diet and drink. The other two original kittens were taken and fed fast food and soda, and in old age developed diseases and cancers. Their offspring became diseased or cancerous at a much younger age. The diet of fast food and soda continued. The next generation was born with various abnormalities, and they gave birth to kittens that were sterile! Does that give you pause for thought? I promised myself I would create my own recipes and eat the good, natural foods 90% of the time. I would allow myself to eat the bad "fun" foods 10% of the time. Although I enjoy them occasionally in small amounts, I usually have no desire for them, and they sometimes make me feel bad.
