We've known the benefits of antioxidants for decades, longer. Blueberries, green tea, heck, even some chocolate contains them. Get the old blood moving!

I must say that as a food consumer, an eater, I am never not in love with a dish that is laden with acidulates and phosphates. My stomach grumbles like I'm smelling movie theater popcorn as I think of the deliciousness that acidulates and phosphates bring to the foods I consume.

I can't stop eating bacon. I don't know why I am beginning an entry about developing food products for vegetarians by making that claim. All I can say is that it is on my mind and I had to admit it to someone. There. It's out there.

We keep hearing that we need much less sodium in our diets. Last I heard, the recommended daily intake of sodium per adult is something in the neighborhood of a teaspoon.

This morning found myself out of cream for my coffee, so I opened a can of condensed milk and spooned it into my cup. Talk about a shelf stable product. This is milk. Milk!

It all comes down to awareness. Regulations, claims, personal hygiene... you must have some sense of awareness. Failure to be clued-in to the goings-on in these fields could lead to disaster, or at least, supreme embarrassment.

Oh, time. Have I let too much pass? It's only natural to feel the years in your back, the organic decay of bone and tissue. Wait, we're discussing organic and natural as it pertains to food, right?

I just ate a donut. I wouldn't normally begin an entry about fat reduction in this way, but I tend to believe that our preoccupation with foods such as donuts is at the heart of why we also are in desperate need of reduced fat foods. Good gravy.

The unavoidable truth, friends, is that the world loves to talk about food. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone, in this case, is right.
