Steve, you're so right.  I don't eat food w/ nitrates at home but I do when I am having breakfast at a restaurant, which I do ea. Friday w/ friends.  

It is hard to find anything to eat for b'fast at local restaurants.  I have been carrying fruit (vit C) in my purse thinking that it would counteract the nitrates/nitrites.  Apparently I was wrong all these years....

So... other than eggs (non-organic) & the fruit I carry, what can I eat?  Maybe I can ask for a salad.  That said, I like my daily breakfast to be my high protein meal.
