Wow, the last few posts make me really grateful that I live where I do. I may live in the middle of nowhere but we have at least 4 local organic bakeries that cover all the really good breads including a great german rye and gluten free/low gluten - for those that actually need it. We also have two local butcher shops that source meat locally, cut it in-house and make all there own sausages etc., I'm very spoiled that way and a total snob when I go elsewhere. But really once you can get thick sliced in-house smoked bacon how the hell are you supposed to buy that crap in the store.

Where I live, people are very into organics and natural foods, so it's pretty easy to find stuff without chemicals and fake stuff. Even the natural bread section at the market is bigger than the processed bread section.

Why do people insist that HFCs are the same as sugar?

lolobugg

yeah. I am lucky too to live where I am educated on the benefits of grass-fed and organic food.

I got used to it and know where or how to get my stuff. I just try to avoid processed food as much as I can. My stomach is giving me a reaction right away when it doesn't like something, and I am much better off with the way I eat. And I feel healthier too
We do have one thing here that I would truly, truly miss if I ever moved somewhere else. And that is an Amish market. They have amazing meats and sausages and butter and eggs for not too much money. We only buy our meat there. I think otherwise I would have become a vegetarian. I'm a paranoid, snobby, but also creative and handy foodie :-B )

That's the one thing I'm unfortunately ignorant on, non supermarket meat. Even the organic stuff I won't buy cuz it looks awful. I'm not a big meat lover though

Oh, in Germany I never got the organic meat. I was not able to afford it! And yes, it looked miserable too. But the Amish stuff looks absolutely great, tastes fantastic and is good on the wallet. We bought some supermarket sausages in between when the Amish wasn't open and we threw parts of them away because we didn't like them anymore. They have the most wonderful and tasty chicken sausages, with Italian, Polish or several other flavours. They have signs hanging around saying "Amish chicks don't do drugs" and stuff like that. I love it there Look around, you may never know what is available locally. Fish, eggs, meats, veggies...

An American hairdresser once told me if I want fuller hair I should eat more supermarket meat. The cheapo stuff is so loaded with hormones that you can see it - people get fat as hell, but have the most wonderful hair and nails )

Stupid question(s):

At what age do you tell kids about Santa? Also, do you tell them or do they find out from friends? I honestly can't remember how I found out

I tried to act like I knew all along

whispering hands

My parents got sick of it, and finally told us..

I remember later that year I got chicken pox and I couldn't sleep.
I helped my mom fill my younger sister's easter basket after she went to bed.....
wow, we have some strange customs now that I think about it.

You could do what my mom did and wrap all the Santa presents with masking tape and then tell a hilarious christmas morning story about running out of scotch tape and having to use masking tape on the rest of the presents. She then asked me if I liked my present from santa...bitch.

My youngest a year or two ago (3 or 4 then) said "I don't even understand how this chocolate doesn't melt when the Eater Bunny is going to every house". I came up with "yeah, I still can't figure it out"

I've slipped up so many times w/ my oldest, but have been able to get back on track. I'm pretty sure he'll be like " I don't care how the stuff gets under the tree, just keep it coming" )

where I grew up-
most homes don't have fireplaces/chimneys.
we always asked, "how will Santa get in?"
my mom would tell us that he uses the door and has a key to every house...
kids will believe anything. )

We actually have a huge "magical" key we put under the mat outside before bed. It's magical because the kids said "no way that fits in the key hole". They wake up and the key is next to the cookie crumbs and empty egg nog glass
