Real food rules...another reason to choose whole foods

The myriad of recalled (non) foods this week, tainted with salmonella, should be another reason to avoid ambiguous ingredients like artificial flavorings, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, milk ingredients... or anything else for that matter that doesn't make sense!!

CBC News - Consumer Life - Recall of tainted food additive grows

Here are 2 simple rules:

1. If is doesn't look like food (closely derived from something that grows- plant or meat)- don't eat it!

2. If you can leave it out in the open indefinitely and it wont mold...don't eat it! Obviously there is no nutrition in it if mold wont touch it (eg. modern cereal, crackers, cookies ...)
