I trust his reading of the research. This link is to an older article but he's still using that figure in recent articles. I got the 90% figure from Dr. Mercola who cites it over and over again.

Somehow it now seems normal to step farther and farther away from real, fresh, local foods. Everytime you process something (an apple into apple sauce for example) you lose nutrients and add cost. 90%!?!?

I'm still tempted to try to make Spam Jerky, though. It did occur to me that SPAMco didn’t need any more publicity, and that folks are dumbed-down enough now that ANY publicity is good publicity.

The little kids are easier to feed sometimes but they are going through a phase of only wanting yogurt and strawberries. I need quick to make, easy to find ingredients and simple. We eat way too many processed foods and with Matt's heart issues i'd like to start cooking healthier! I'll be hanging out here for some ideas.

Just be patient with yourself and learn a little as you go along. And I recognize that it is a challenge to change our eating habits, but the rewards are incredibly valuable, like nothing else . . . no dieting, fewer medications (some people get off them entirely), more energy, etc. What is life about, after all? Our rule was always you have to try at least one bite. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it. Choose from something else on the table. My ma used to say, "When they're hungry enough, they'll eat," (subtext: 'You get to eat what we have and I'm not jumping through hoops to fix something for your picky palate.') I'll start digging into my memory to find what I fed John when he was little. You’ll get there. Just be patient with yourself and learn a little as you go along.
