I'll ha...These movies sound really interesting! I'll have to see whether I can access them over here. <br />I found 'A Delicate Balance' and 'Making the Connection' very inspiring. Watching these documentaries and reading 'The China Study' helped us in our decision to move to a plant-based diet. (The links for the two documentaries are on my blog under the 'video' tab... they're free to watch).<br />Have a great weekend Rachel! xxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962490826214694012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037400518948585034.post-63504260840707150122013-01-24T18:29:57.306-05:002013-01-24T18:29:57.306-05:00Both these movies have been on my "must-see&q...Both these movies have been on my "must-see" list... you have inspired me to watch both!

You sweet woman for mentioning me in...Rachel!!!!!! You sweet woman for mentioning me in the last post! Hahahaha. I was the same way over the holidays. I've loved your last two posts. We have good eating habits here, but there is always room for improvement. For us, we eat lots of whole foods for meals and snacks. I'm always looking out for sugar. There is this billboard on the freeway close by that has a kid in a mound of sugar and it says, "kids in America are drowning in sugar." I don't doubt it. In our home I bake very little, they bake very little, we don't buy desserts really, but still it's in everything and I'm not talking natural sugar. And with church, scouts and these things it seems like the kids can always get it somewhere ya know? <br /><br />On juicing: Okay, I've been looking into juicing now for awhile because everyone is doing this!!! I've met so many people over the last couple of weeks that are on juice fasts. And if juicing really is as good for you as they say, then.... apparently there are enzymes in the juice that are digested differently in our bodies and better digested. Soooo, this also leads me to think we can get caught up in so many different things. Especially today, because we have gotten so off with our health. <br /><br />In the end I think the basics are the best. Whole, clean foods as much as possible. Little processed foods and moderate sugar. You are doing great. I love your devotion to this cause. <br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Shauna <br /><br />PS. Agreed about pills and vitamins. Want to hear something funny? When I was in the hospital they were running tests. The nurse came back and said she had never seen such great "Folic Acid" levels and congratulated me on taking my prenatals. I didn't have the courage to tell her I hadn't really taken the prenatals. But, I eat whole foods and lots of veggies. My dad's side of the family are huge into Vitamins but they are also super healthy eaters.
