I ended up here via Conversion Diary, and I'm probably going to be a regular reader now! I've long been suspicious of "healthy" foods that are overly processed and full of chemicals. Margarine is a big sticking point for me - I WILL NOT cook with anything but real butter thankyouverymuch. (Okay, actually, I do SOMETIMES use "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" or Splenda when cooking for a friend who has had gastric bypass surgery and can't tolerate real fats or sugar. However, when I'm cooking for myself? It's gotta be real, baby.) Still, my eating habits need a LOT of work, and I look forward to benefiting from your research! Hi Kelly!

I am always amazed that someone as well published and thought of as JB is such an idiot around someof this stuff...also heard she has the classic chronic-itis from following her own dietary advice. She is quoted so often would love to know if this is true to offer as an "oh yeah". Kelly–I’m loving your blog

Julie,

I needed to hear your good reminder that it is often much more about our example than our words!

I think that actions speak louder than words. I have given my share of lectures over the years (I'm 55) but I now realize that people notice more about you do than they let on. Any more I try to stay quiet and only will say something if asked. One time I was eating with a friend at a salad bar and she said to me "I notice that everything on your plate is dark colored--dark greens, red peppers, orange this, yellow that" and her plate was ice berg lettuce with ranch! So, I just said that the brighter the colors the more nutrients. She said wow, I didn't know that. If people eat at your house and are enjoying and nourished by your tasty food, that speaks louder than a lecture and it can serve as a source of inspiration. It could be that people have a notion that eating right is way out there in some sort of an unreachable realm. It really is doable, and I think by our actions we can in a calm way show them this!

I think the soy stuff is going to hit the can and I will stick with the product I am using now. No sense in upsetting the applecart for something that won't be any better for us!
