The Pantry Is Bare...

...of pre-processed foods that is.

My 11 year old son (and I) have a terrible adverse reaction to MSG - mono sodium glutemate. Within hours of ingesting it, we both experience excruciating migraine headaches, vomiting and then the need to sleep for hours. We've become avid label readers in this household. Neither of us can afford to lose from 24 - 48 hours of our lives each time we eat something that includes MSG in the ingredients.

MSG is found in many canned and boxed foods. It is a neuro-transmitter. It tricks your brain into thinking food tastes better than it actually does, and encourages you to eat more. For more information about its side effects, you can find it here -
MSG is a DRUG and NEURO-TRANSMITTER.

So, needless to say, most of the food eaten in this house is made from scratch. The pantry is full of spices, herbs, MSG free stock, and baking goods. I can honestly say my family eats healthy and well.
