I am forever thankful for reading DANDR in the year before starting my family.
I was able to move away from the usual missteps, Cheerios, oatmeal and juice, in the early years to more whole foods. BUT....with one autistic child the change did not come fast enough. I noticed his speech and function jump about two years ago. The improvement was very noticable.
He was now at university and had access to ready made food. Not premade foods, but made from scratch meals and desserts. He choose meals with fish and sushi. And veggies, etc. Not a big pasta eater.
At home 95% of diet was stirfry. Real meat, usual ly beef, tons of fresh veggies, and a pile of spices. Especially cinnamon. I know, weird, right?? When he makes dinner fir the family we ask for no cinnamon.
My point is, packaged food here in US is dangerous. The "food" is NOT real food. The additives is not just one or two. On some packaging the list is very long.
Recently DH bought Walmart brand cottage cheese. TEN ingredients!!!!! Last night he bought Daisy brand, three ingredients: Skim milk, cream, salt.
Read the labels. Dont assume its real.
To sum up, Taking a few minutes to buy and prep one ingredient items and combining with spices, and herbs and clean oils is totally different.
US food industry is fake "food."
