For May’s bookclub book, we read Trail of Crumbs by Kim Sunee. None of us particularly loved the book, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t up to the caliber of some of the other books we have read. It was a lot like Eat, Pray, Love in my opinion. . . and I though Eat, [...]

I have mentioned several times about trying to reduce the amount of artificial or processed foods in our diets, and that includes high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
