We know about the “Bliss Point” trap that we all are subjected to when buying processed foods.
I am wondering if there is an antidote for the consumer in the form of recalibrating our “Bliss Point”. If we can be motivated enough to go to the gym; go to college etc. can we not help ourselves using a psychological approach?
What are the psychological tools we can arm ourselves and loved ones with to combat this onslaught?
THE PARADOX OF LIFE
A bit beyond perception’s reach
I sometimes believe I see
that Life is two locked boxes, each
containing the other’s key.

Neither did I. I came across his blog whilst searching for materials on ‘bliss point’ vulnerability.

He writes about his adventure with farming and cooking authentic perogies http://www.michaelmikulak.com/blog/
If you were a guest at his farm for dinner, I bet the ingredients would be as local as you can get!
This Justin Chapple guy from Food and Wine demonstrates a trick for reviving stale bread. Wished I learned of that through my professors! I think this is a keeper.

So you think MSG is the culprit?
I finished a recent project for school on gluten free diets. My feelers are still out it seems for gluten free related information. This morning I came across an article by Melissa King on making gluten free cookies at home. Though I have yet to try it myself, they look very appetizing. Melissa also shares her decision to make them thinner after an initial attempt. Please try it out and let me know if you agree with her readers on this recipe.
If you have information about Celiacs and the recipes they find helpful, please share them on this blog.
