In reply to Kim Davis. Insulin is something your body produces in your pancreas. I think you are talking about innulin (if I am spelling it right). I don't know what that is but I see it listed as an ingredient in food.

In reply to Kim Davis. Hi. I can't answer your question about insulin but 100% pure stevia liquid, at least, has no additives.

Is stevia in liquid form less processed and is insulin a 0 calorie, 0 carb sweetener?

Hi I am just starting out with this and wondered about pork consumption. I noticed very little recipes using pork or beef

I subscribed to your website after just hearing your interview on Charlotte Talks this morning. I love your story and I share your priority of using whole foods at home. It's definitely been a challenge though and I've really not held the same standards for us when we eat out or at friend's homes. I'm looking forward to reading your tips and recipes!

I just discovered your wonderful site and have taken the 10 day pledge. It's time we stopped eating chemicals. Many of my friends have health problems that I consider related to their less than healthy diet. I'm fortunate to live in a small town with a wonderful food co-op that carried local organic produce, bulk grains and local pastured meat and eggs. They do persist in carrying canola however. You have lots of great recipes too.

In reply to Lindsey.

Hi Lindsey. That is likely to be an ongoing struggle until the rest of the world wakes up. This post may help...even though it is more about Lisa's kids, it applies to so many situations: https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/07/24/being-polite-vs-honoring-your-values/. ~Amy

I am curious if you have any tips on how to handle dinners and holidays with extended family. Sadly, mine does not eat any whole foods and I don't anticipate them being very supportive of our decision to change. Thanks!

I'm really curious: how to you handle holidays like Halloween and valentines with your kids like when they bring home buckets of candy? What about other extended family members (like grandparents...) who may not agree with your lifestyle change and want to "spoil" the kids when you aren't around? I've got little kids- both of whom are extremely picky. I'm trying to cut out processed foods but these are potential issues I will encounter. Just curious what you do. You may have addressed this already. I looked around your site but couldn't see anything. Thanks! Excited to try some of your recipes!
