Happy Thanksgiving - What's your story?
-
By the way, I really wish we could retire the phrase 'processed food' and come up with new description(s) of the foods in the category based on the mechanism or degree of harm. 'Processed' is just too neutral and generic (you know those strawberries you're eating? They've been through the picking, washing, and packaging process - really!).
But less flip, it seems to me there's a big difference between organic whole wheat bread and neon-orange cheese dust, yet both are, indeed, processed foods. We need to make a better distinction. ('Ultra' helps, but only so much. It suffers from the same imprecision and lack of any biological reference).
I realize I'm yelling into a void.

You're absolutely right. A term that general is often ignored by the bulk of the population.

Went to Sullivan's. It was great for Christmas. Surprised it was crowded. Were seated late at a high table in the bar. My stomach trouble makes my stomach bad when it is empty for too long. I was grumpy.
Finally the food showed up. It was great, of course. Then everything was ok.

Had a multi-national Thanksgiving celebration hosted by our daughter, her husband and friends from a beach community in the Dominican Republic. Maybe 25 people up in a house in the hills overlooking the ocean. A little yoga, some guitar music, some pool time, some sun, a little rain and a mix of local foods prepared by a chef. Delightful time meeting their beach family!
