In my quest to live a more natural lifestyle and eat healthier foods, I have found it is too easy to get overwhelmed with "rules". I am new to all of this, and I have my weaknesses (hello, Digiorno!), so as I shop I am trying to keep in mind that my ideals are goals, not rules. Here are my current goals. As time goes on I'll add more and become more strict about them, but for now, here are my current goals.
~No high fructose corn syrup.
~No artificial dyes (a color with a number after it).
~No high fructose corn syrup.
~No artificial dyes (a color with a number after it).
~No trans fats (hydrogenated anything).
~No MSG (this is a biggy for me because I am sensitive to it in large doses, but small amounts seem to be in everything!)
~Try to buy organics or skip the "dirty dozen" fruits and veggies.
~Soy should not be a main ingredient (I'll allow it for now if it's far down on the ingredient list. Eventually I'd like to completely eliminate it).
It is important to me for Doodlebug to start out eating healthy foods, and it's up to me (since I'm doing most of the cooking) to set a good example for her. The main goal is to get rid of as much processed food as I can, and my mini-goals will help me get there one step at a time.

Great goals! I follow all of them as well. :)
