I just can't get over how silly it is that we are dealing with having sugar in our pepper!<br /><br />K.Rae-As far as those salad dressings go, try asking for just plain olive oil or balsamic vinegar. I know the feeling of not even wanting to know, but once you do know you'll get more creative with your options and hopefully feel empowered! I would love to know how your month without sugar goes. I'll be here for any help that you might need!My Year Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290085498074393110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-40869063834477833412010-01-01T10:53:17.371-08:002010-01-01T10:53:17.371-08:00This is so crazy!

Really, nothing is safe!<br /><br />Just thought I'd let you know that I just started reading your blog, and I love it! As a college student, it's ridiculous to see my friens not thinking about what they put in their bodies! Although it's not my major, nutrition and natural ingredients are a huge hobby of mine! Keep up the good work!! :)Ann.Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131252651513993392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-14344197202144925502009-12-31T02:30:15.017-08:002009-12-31T02:30:15.017-08:00thanks for stopping by my blog and when i am not b...thanks for stopping by my blog and when i am not bleary eyed tired, i plan to read more aabout yours...i couldnt imagine life without sugar b/c I admit, I am a high raw all vegan girl but I love my agave, stevia, etc. I even love white sugar.

I don't want to ask for an ingredients list...but I don't want to become that woman who carries salad dressing in their purse. Sigh.K. https://www.blogger.com/profile/07014982182917798779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-87452244328394382052009-12-30T10:14:44.305-08:002009-12-30T10:14:44.305-08:00Hey, thanks for stopping by!

It seems like it's almost impossible to find things without refined sugar in them.

I mean, table salt has sugar in it (dextrose), so anything with salt as an ingredient (except sea salt or Himalayan salt) should have sugar in it as well. Just because it's vegan, organic, gluten free, macrobiotic, fair trade, etc etc, doesn't mean it's not junk food.Kirin Birhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909901315867270613noreply@blogger.com
