Life Is What Life Is...

Nothing is predictable, let alone controllable.

So enjoy the ride, and never wish a day away

K . I . S . S .


That's right... Keep It Simple Stupid.  I know for a lot of us, processed foods are easy, they are cheap - but they are BAD for you.  No one can deny it.  I know we all love our bacon cheeseburgers- but they need to be a TREAT, rather than a staple.  In fact - take out the word treat - I don't think food is ever a good reward... we should regard them as an indiscretion.  We are all allowed an indiscretion now and again.

For this reason alone - I am thankful for us living in Germany.  My family has been fairly "cured" of eating out.  Sure, we have a McDonalds in town, but quite honestly, when it costs more than $25 (after exchange conversion) to feed a family of four, that price is simply NOT sustainable.  Nothing like being broke to make you eat well :)  

For the same price, you can eat at a real German restaurant, the kind where you SIT, you spend time, and you enjoy yourself.  Or, for the same price, you can go to the grocery store, and buy a TON of fresh produce, that will feed your family for DAYS.

Game over. Produce wins.

ok - there is an addendum to the ingredients list rule.. and here it is... if you find something like this, then you are good to go as well....
