Congratulations! It's been one week since you've decided to make some changes. How'd it go reading labels? We'd love to hear your reactions when you read the ingredients in some of that "stuff" we call food.
One more thing about reading labels before we move on. In our society we are conditioned to read two things on a label: fat and calories. If it's low in both, we consider it a winner. NOT SO FAST! Hopefully this week you have realized there is a lot more to a label than fat and calories. There's a lot more to food than fat and calories. Many "low-fat" foods are filled with yuckies (as we call them in our family). These extras are in there so you don't miss the fat. Think about this: the less fillers, preservatives, flavors and colors a food has, the cleaner it is. This makes it easier for your body to process, utilize, and eliminate. Food is fuel and we need to fuel our bodies kindly and effectively.

About Me
- Jennifer Fuller-The Everyday Organic
- I'm not a Hollywood actress or a consultant to the rich and famous. Ok, I'm not rich or famous myself either. I'm a mom. I live in a typical American suburb-whatever that is. About seven years ago, I decided to transform the way my family ate. We were going organic! Let me tell you, initially that was not met with enthusiasm by my husband or our daughters. Since I'm the only cook in the house, I win! Through the journey, I have been asked countless questions by friends and family. From the basics: WHY would you do that? HOW can you afford that? WHERE do you begin with that? to the more "advanced": WHAT are sulfites? HOW do you know they aren't good for you? Look, I'm no scientist but I care passionately about what goes into our bodies. Hopefully, I can shed some light on the whole thing for you. Organic eating and living feels great and is totally worth the effort. Enjoy!
