OK. Did you KNOW there were Food Rules?

Of course you did.

Many people have read and enjoyed Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma but I have not.

I might branch out if the food diary thing works for me. We'll see.

Speaking of a tasty morsel, check out GrandGril

I know. !Ay Caramba! Now you are craving something sweet, aren't ya?

Apples and raisins are sweet.

And they are mostly plants.

See how easy that was? I think I'm getting the hang of the Rules.
