Same old rant about the food industry

[kathryn]

Thanks for the ketchup recipe, Kathryn. My kids are addicted to ketchup and I hate the store bought stuff, even the one at the health food store. I have to give it a try.

Let me know how you like them. I've tried a different one, but not these particular ones. (And I find that with raw-food recipes, it's sometimes necessary to tweak things a bit, as real raw foods vary in taste and consistency from one 'individual' to another.)

Speaking of Walgreen's, I have a dirty little secret. Whenever I'm near a Walgreen's, I stock up on that Pure American Zero Calorie Vitamin Water. I know it's no good for me, but because it's sweetened with Splenda, I'd rather reach for that than for the Diet Coke my DH keeps in plentiful supply. Aspertame scares me a bit more than sucralose. I try to stay away from both, but I'm not all that successful.

Crap, I drink Splenda in my (several cups of) coffee every damn day and have for probably a couple of years now. Nobody's perfect, Nancy. We all have our flaws.
