Well, this is it. The first day of my year of eating nothing but whole foods – or at least trying to eat only whole foods.
I discovered this morning that it would be easier said than done. While I am trying to change my diet, I am not doing anything radical to change meals for the rest of the family at this time. This morning I made cinnamon rolls and bacon for breakfast. I knew the cinnamon rolls were a lovely concoction of artificial flavors and ingredients, but I thought I could have some bacon with eggs. Wrong! The bacon was maple flavored and contained a handful of items that I could barely pronounce, let alone know what they were. So I skipped the bacon and had eggs and coffee.
Later, I discovered that my store bought bread was less than all natural so I made a couple loaves myself. I was rather pleased with the result.

In the evening, I visited a friend who assured me that it would be virtually impossible to eat any store bought foods without also consuming artificial ingredients or preservatives. We discussed life, love and cats over a light dinner of fruits, veggies and melba bread with cheese spread that was of questionable “naturalness."
More on my eating experiment and what prompted it will come later……
