3/24 or 3/25 2010 as I cant sleep.

As I can't fall asleep, here is a tid-bit of information that I just learned.

Let's assume that you have decided to eat as healthy as possible, from everything that you have read, you surmised that "Organic" is the way to go.  So you trot off to your local hippy dippy "natural" foods co-op and buy "organic" foods.

Yes, this is probably better than buying factory raised and grown foods....... but did you know; there are several terms that each mean a different thing?

Below are several labels that you will encounter, and what they mean.

100% Organic:  This is the holy grail.  You may rest assured that from the guy that planted the seeds to the farmer that watered and harvested "it" to the packaging plants and distributors that finally brought it to you,It is "Organic"

However if it says "Organic" it only needs to be 95% Organic, the remaining 5% must meet guidelines set by the FDA

"Made with organic" or "organically made" means that 70% of the ingredients are organic  As far as I have found there are no restrictions on the remaining 30%.  I could be wrong, so don't quote me on this or anything.

Remember:  I'm just a fat guy, trying to get healthy and blogging about it.  Don't believe anything I write; check it out for yourself!  My only goal is to (hopefully) inspire you to get as healthy and strong as possible.  Hopefully my blog will save you some time, researching and separating the wheat from the shit.  In the end you will have to find your own healthy diet plan.

All that said, I did manage to lose ten pounds in two weeks while eating more food and drinking more water than I did before.  I hate to call it a diet as most diets I've tried suck!  I changed the origins of the foods that I ate, not the types.

Shit!  It's late, I need to go to bed!

Thanks.
