Don't Eat That!

Happy Holidays! I've been in full vacation mode this week which means I have hardly left my house opting to stay indoors watching reruns of Grey's Anatomy on Netflix, spending some much desired and needed time with my boys and inhaling copious amounts of my new Keurig coffee! I want to tear up at the thought of going back to work, I just enjoy my time with my kids way too much. As I type it is late Saturday night. Alex is curled up next to me on the couch drifting off to sleep on his beloved Pillow Pet. Brennan is in bed reading one of his many new chapter books. Miles is snug in my bed and little Louie is happily munching away at his bone. I figured it was the perfect time to pop on the computer and play around. I had planned on checking email when I ended up clicking on a Yahoo story about food (what a surprise, right?). The article lists several popular foods, all processed foods, that deceive customers by insinuating it contains a particular food/ingredient when in reality the food item is totally void of the ingredient. You'll see a lot of hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup and dyes listed in these foods. I think the most surprising to me is the lack of blueberries in the blueberry cereal; I had expected dehydrated berries or freeze dried berries or even a sugary juice to be listed!
