Julie,
Praise God for what you've shared. I've had to change pretty radically my
cooking and eating habits this past year and it's not been easy . . ..
I argued for ages that I couldn't do it (couldn't stand to cook much,
couldn't find the foods in the supermarkets etc) but I have certainly been
able to improve my diet quite a lot and even Mike's (because he only has to
eat what he chooses) and I've really made an inroad into my overweight
condition as a result. No, I haven't arrived there at my goal, by any
means, but I have plainly recognised that my body is His temple and I must
do whatever I can do to present a temple where He is glad to well!

>> "carbon

>> Clinton's promise that there will be no cloning in this country? Well?
>> You

>> Did you know they have a genetically altered chicken which grows no

>> centuries with no ill affects. You can buy it as a supplement but it

>> food
>> use to be and how it is now with the antibiotics and steroids with our
>> food
>> and we're eating it. Our immune systems make using antibiotics when

>> meat processing. Find yourself a local family or farmer who raises

>> chicken, you know, the kind that roamed the barnyard naturally and ate
>> natural corn and etc., and have one of those butchered up and notice the
