Response to Non-processed foods

We got rid of processed foods in our diet a couple of years ago. We also don't use anything refined such as sugar, flour, etc. The cookbook that has helped me the most is Whole Foods for the Whole Family. It is put out by La Leche League. It is a great way to get current recipes without the processed ingredients. I belong to a coop that gets its food from a place called FORC in Ohio. If anyone is interested I can get you some information on them. Once a month we place an order and an 18-wheeler delivers it to our location. They are the suppliers for most of the health food stores east of the Mississippi. You can get your items much cheaper. We have grown so big that we even get a discount. You can get "fun" items such as chips and sodas that are organic or made without your bad ingredients such as hydrogenized fats, msg, nitrates, etc. We have gone from buying our store foods from the local grocery to buying everything from the coop. It is much handier only shopping once a month and our food bill has not gone up because we cook from scratch more and use their "convenience" foods to keep us from going out to eat. Besides which my doctor only sees us when we have an accident or the next baby needs a check up somewhere in the first year of life.
