So I found my regular camera battery charger (!). I never even needed to buy the stupid non-working travel one, which I can’t even return because I threw out the receipt and box. Oh well — at least I have a charger!
The other day, I threw out my chewable multivitamins because corn syrup was the very first ingredient. The reason I even took chewable vitamins in the first place is because my nutritionist advised me to do so, since large pills can be bad for the tummy. Although it kinda makes sense that they would put corn in a product designed to taste decent that wouldn’t otherwise be palatable, I now believe (thanks to In Defense of Food) that genetically modified corn is part of the contributing causes to Western diseases, including cancer. Not so healthy. So I threw the chewables out and decided to turn back to my old pill-form multivitamins from Nature’s Made.
And then I looked at the ingredients. And multivitamins in pill form contain corn starch. Come on! You’d think a multivitamin — designed for optimum health — would at least be free of GMOs! Sigh. But of course not. Corn is cheap, the government pays farmers to grow it, blah blah. Those vitamins went into the garbage too, and this morning I stopped at Whole Foods on my way into work where I knew I would find success. I picked up their 365 Brand Adult Multi for Women. It has no corn.
Now I am happy.
See the changes I am making thanks to Food, Inc and In Defense of Food? Speaking of food changes, I started a review of In Defense of Food today, in this entry. After a few paragraphs I realized how complicated I was making it all sound, and then I had a lot of other things to do, and now I have more things to do and the result is the review won’t happen today.
But I plan to write a clear review that actually makes sense! Soon!
