Gonna do two more this afternoon with my girls. I taught a lesson in my ward about eating whole foods. Mostly went well. I was a little nervous for some reason. Usually I don't mind speaking in front of people. I was fine once I got warmed up. At the end this lady that gave me a hard time the last time I spoke on Food Storage gave me a hard time again. I asked the women to bring the most unhealthy thing they had in their house to be donated to science.....Only a few ladies brought things and the lady that I dubbed the winner or the Biggest Loser because it was the unhealthiest didn't mind when I threw the packet of ramen noodles in the trash.....that was part of the game and part of the point. Ramen noodles is a great example of cheap really really bad for you food. I happen to love them and grew up on them but they are full of everything that is bad for you and nothing redeeming except you won't starve if you eat them. Another thing that I talked about was Cream of Chicken soup. That has just about everything bad for you in it too and is a staple in every Mormon cookbook ever printed. I challenged the women to buy one healthy thing instead of a processed food they usually buy. Buy a bag of blueberries instead of those blueberry poptarts....for example. Maybe you ladies on the blog can try this too. Eating whole foods can be more expensive but you can make it work if you spend less money on processed foods.
