<p>we also have lots of asian restaurants here- that don’t use MSG & use local ingredients.
Many dishes are vegetarian, or can be made that way-meat adds lots of calories/fat. I think one of the biggest reasons why we are overweight is pretty simple, it isn’t what we eat, we just eat too much of it. Do the French have all you can eat Sunday buffets? ;)</p>
<p>In reference to missypies comment ( I wasn’t breastfed- I was a premie and was given various formulas all that I was apparently allergic to) I don’t want to gross anyone out either, but we eat a lot of food that we are allergic to/have trouble completely digesting.</p>
<p>Lots of processed food that just gunks up our insides and overwhelms our liver.</p>
<p>Ive found that going on a controlled( gentle- I don’t completely fast) spring cleaning program about two times a year- makes me feel better, I have more energy )
