I here you on the hydrogented fat thing. I got into the habit of reading food labels because I don't eat meat and there are hidden animal ingredients. Anyway, when I see hydrogented or trans fats in the ingredient list, I won't buy it. I won't buy food with high fructose corn syrup, either. Maybe that is one of the reasons my body was able to learn to crave healthy food. Who knows!

Tree Lover thanks for your comment. I do feel that while we being bombarded with pollution, environmental hazards and eating foods that aren't really natural food stuffs (like diet coke!), our bodies may be quite confused about what they want, because our systems are out of balance. These chemicals can have so much impact on our delicate hormonal communication!

However, in Western society (and even the most remote societies are unfortunately not free from the environmental mess the rest of the world has made), it is very difficult to escape that - so for me, it's about just doing the best I can (like not eating trans fats!).

Hello!

  • I'm Andrea, and am obsessed with creating fabulous food. After I managed to ditch dieting, the reason Chocolate and Beyond was born, it seemed natural to evolve my site into a foodie blog. More so since I also ditched animal produce to be vegan. Now, I love showing how inventive cruelty-free cooking can be. And sometimes I like to rant, too. I wouldn't be myself otherwise :) x

    PS. This blog LOVES your comments! Especially about the food!
