This trend got old fast! LOL

What's the next new old idea?

Which the bread I usually get has less than 2%, I think... Which is not a big deal.

All I can say is I follow a fairly good diet, have a lower percentage of body fat than the majority out there, and I'm eating, at least, 2X better than a majority of people twice my age. I'm not going to worry about eating bread...

We all eat bread... if you're choosing the best consumer whole grain product you can find at your grocery retailer - you've done all you need to do.

I dislike when people put to fine a point on dietary matters here. Don't eliminate processed grain products... unless you feel the need to eat unprocessed grain straight from the farmer's field. Geesh!

And honestly, since I can't force myself to consciously take growth hormones... I hope all those bloated chickens I'm eating are giving my testosterone level a nice kick!

Pesticides... I probably got 10 years of consumer food dosage of toxin chasing that waterbug last week with a can of raid. I grew up before DDT was eliminated... I'm a dead man walkin'.

This is silly.

Also, a lot of the organic foods I get I buy in bulk because they are sold in bulk at the health food store, and therefore are actually cheaper than stuff I could get in the regular store. For example, it cost me about $2.99 for a box of Quacker Oat Bran (16 oz.) I bought a bag at Akins Heath Food Store for $2.50 and it was 32 oz. I think nuts are cheaper too. I also bought some organic buckwheat pancake mix (eating one right now) last time I was there. I don't remember how much it cost, but it was cheap.
