Bob's Believe It or Not?
Can you believe sugar-free cookies are often loaded with hydrogenated oils (trans fats that are really unhealthy)? The first ingredient listed on many sugar free cookies is vegetable shortening, which is a trans fat.


For those mornings when getting your kids off to school with a nutritious lunch is next to impossible, here’s one solution: Applegate Farms Organic Lunchboxes. They’re prepackaged meals that are free of nitrites, pesticides and chemical preservatives. You can choose among organic turkey breast, uncured turkey bologna and uncured pepperoni pizza. The lunches include organic crackers, organic string cheese—even organic fruit bears for dessert. You can find all the nutrition facts and ingredient listings on their web site—go to applegatefarms.com.
