I am finally coming around to GMO's, hormones and the like. Trying to get my family to come around is another story. Most days I'm just happy to get one meal in without inadvertently poisoning my children.
Along with this we mom's are now met with having be concerned of other children and their allergies AKA the no nut universal ban. I'm not creative at seven am. I can barely see let alone have the where with all to hash out a nut free lunch. Hooray for summer camp! They actually allow peanut butter! Finally I can slap together a PBJ and call it good. Now back to my healthy living plight and enter "natural peanut butter". Happily singing the hip and with it song about this amazing food substance I hear the most dreaded question a mom can hear... "What's for lunch?" This can be substituted for any of the meals really and yield that same dreaded feeling.
Not today because it's "Peanut butter jelly time"! To that I hear a new complaint... "uh is it that new stuff you bought???" Here's me, "yeah it's the good stuff!" It tastes weird, like too many peanuts. Grumble grumble snarl. And now here is my opportunity to show how much I care. To show exactly what a health conscience mom I am. That yes I am doing a small part in the GMO war. "Well it's the natural kind, it doesn't have chemicals and sugar". The response hurts my heart to repeat... "I like chemicals and sugar, it tastes better".
With that a guaranty my healthy lunch was up on the barter block by noon. I'm glad I kept someone else's kid off the processed sauce as it were.
