If you've seen my list of articles that changed my life then you know butter, bacon, and foods with saturated-fat (the good kinds, that is) are NOT foods I avoid. Mmmm bacon. Let's just think for a minute on how good bacon tastes. Mmmmm. bacon. (Bacon from pigs that were allowed to forage outside and had a healthy life that is!) Hey, maybe people wouldn't avoid lima beans if they were cooked with bacon!

Okay now that we've had that bacon moment together and we're ignoring my crooked picture, let me tell you about some of the foods that I do generally avoid:
- I avoid sugar . . . well most of the time (mmm...ice cream, Nielsen's Frozen Custard, quality chocolate, okay don't get me started! Remember we're avoiding this?!)
- I don't use agave
- I never use vegetable oil or Crisco
- I never use "cream of ______" soups
- I don't consume soy products
Does this mean if you have me over for dinner and you made a box of Betty Crocker brownies with veggie oil I'm going to turn it down? Probably not. Does this mean if I'm at your house and you serve up some Hawaiian-haystacks made with cream of chicken soup that I'm going to pass on dinner? Probably not. But it does mean when I'm in my own kitchen I WON'T be using these food items to feed my family.
Check out these articles that changed my thinking on some of these foods.
