I'm a failure. I caved! Look at this- I'm writing a blog. I've resisted creating a blog not only because I didn't really have anything to blog about, but mainly because I didn't want to just do it because blogging is the new 'thing.' Leading is not my thing, but neither is following. I kinda just do whatever comes into my head- which I suppose is why my mom called me a butterfly. I kinda flit around. Hmm, does that mean that this blog will be more random than I'd anticipated? Of course, that would require that I have the planning capabilities to anticipate where this blog will go. Which I don't. So it's all irrelevant!
Truly though, I am the shopper/cooker/feeder in our home. I'm responsible for every piece of food that goes into my child's mouth, and responsible for most of the food that goes into my husband's body.
(Which happens to be quite an amazing body and worth taking care of, imo. But you probably didn't want to hear that.) Being completely responsible for the food my child eats and how that affects his body and therefore his future kinda freaks me out. God entrusted this amazing little man to
me and is requiring of me to do the best I can. And messing up his health now so that for the rest of his life he has to deal with the fall-out from my irresponsibility is so not something I want to do.
I, in total ignorance of the quagmire I was about to leap into, decided to do some internet research on good food that would fit into my budget. Oh my stars, apparently I'm standing on the brink of death because I eat cold cereal for breakfast. Or because the whole wheat flour that I use hasn't been sprouted before it was ground. I'm not discounting the validity of sprouted grain or breakfast options besides cold cereal, I just think that a bowl of Cheerios isn't going to push you into obesity or autism. But, at this point, I don't really know where I stand on most food issues! So, to maybe spare any readers that happen across this blog some of the time, frustration, and confusion that I'm currently going through, and also to give myself a place to look back at where I cataloged what I've found, I thought I'd document my findings and dole out my opinion. If nothing else, it's like my own
random unique food diary. Feel free to sneak a look inside it any time!
