Harmful chemicals may be lurking in a snack or bread aisle near you, which is why Sophie says it's important to make sure the corn, wheat and oats you feed your family are organic. Look for products like the ones above that call out organic ingredients. "They have found tremendous amounts of organophosphate pesticides in processed foods like corn chips and popcorn, things that our kids eat a lot of," Sophie says. "So, again, if you can go organic with that, great idea." I've put King Corn in my queue, says it's available the 29th. Thanks for writing about it!

It's been a good year since we cut 99% of the processed foods out of our diets. Ouch, was that hard going cold turkey like that. Now I really enjoy my bread making, sauce making, cookie making, etc. We use sugars in their natural state as well as whole grains that have been soaked or sprouted. In this my High blood pressure has returned to normal, the migraines are gone, our oldest has nearly stopped showing signs of AD/HD and the twins' severe eczema is gone. It was a hard road at the beginning, but looking back I am so glad we did it! Love the fabric, BTW, and the note book cover. I've always liked pears on crafts and the like. When I painted they were a favorite subject of mine. You’ll be happy you made the food change. It’s been a good year since we cut 99% of the processed foods out of our diets.

I just heard about the corn-fed cow business and the antibiotics that they're given. Scary!!! Corn-fed has always sounded so healthy. Quess not!!! Joni The fabric is great!

I haven't seen the documentary yet, but we've recently done away with all high-fructose corn syrups and the like. My kids love fruit, but it still seems like we get plenty of opportunity for sweets around here! A few changes like this and I've become so much more vigilant about buying real food (there was so little food in our food!) We all feel great about it. Good luck to you and your family, too!
