Hi Frank. Thanks for your comment.

We included this article in our email newsletter during the height of COVID lockdowns all over the US. Because the author comes out of the gate talking about not being home and the travel they had to do recently, we decided it was best, at the time, to add the note. Now that that time has (hopefully) passed us all, we will remove the note.

Take care.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tone and content of the article, absolutely agreeing with the author’s sentiments about how folks have been basically brainwashed about how and what to eat. The content is true no matter what era it passed in. Is it because the husband is dealing with an unnamed sickness (like folks have done throughout all of time?) Not sure why you put that note there, but it is absolutely uneccessary and distrcting.

This is how I grew up mostly cooking and have till this day. We eat very processed food. I could do better. My Dad had a HUGE garden growing up and we had chickens for eggs. We were eating organic without knowing we were eating organic! My family live in NW Houston so space is stil lacking for a garden and we can’t have chickens But thinking ahead with my last child graduating high school in 5 years, I vow to move to an area with a little more land so I can regain some of that hard worked, delightful home grown food. In the meantime, I make the healthy unprocessed choices in the grocery store around the corner as I bounce through the crowded aisles. Definitely not my favorite way of spending time. But you’ve got me excited again for the future !
