Comment on Breyers Melt Down by glucido

So someone else has noticed as well. I vividly remember the commercial with some person grimacing as they said “guar gum” and as an ice cream aficionado I used to get excited that someone “got it”. I loved Breyers but stayed away from it for years to control my weight. My wife has been buying some of it recently and I tried it and noticed it doesn’t taste right. I saw gum as an ingredient but figured it was because my wife was buying the mix-in variety. So next time I was at the store I went for the pure vanilla and was horrified to discover that it too had gum in it. You can always tell fake ice cream by the way it melts. It’s thick and foamy instead of watery.

I found your post because I was doing a search to see if anyone else was disappointed by all this.

So that leaves only one true ice cream on the store shelves and that’s Hagen Dazs and it’s awesome.

Comment on No more Whole Foods! by DrGray

Excellent analysis and information! The general public is too busy to investigate where their foods actually come from so we need “watchers” like you to help educate us. Thanks for all that you do and keep up the good work!

Comment on Physicians Group Sues USDA Over Food Pyramid by danilouwho

This kind of stuff is so frustrating to me – this “one size fits all” way of eating. I don’t have anything against vegetarians, vegans, etc. AT ALL. I completely support it actually. And I’m not really in love with the USDA pyramid, But according to that powerplate, I can only eat two of those food groups, since I have a wheat intolerance, and other grains and beans barely get through me without complete pain!

I was veg for about a year, a few years ago and it did nothing for me health wise, I actually stayed sick until I kicked out grains/beans and added back in meat and raw dairy.

Definitely agree with you, it’s more about individual needs and no matter what “group” you’re eating, being educated on your food.

Happy New Year Karin – thank you guys so much for all that you do. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciated seeing your smiling face each week and all our conversations. I’m so missing the markets this time of year, cannot wait until it’s that time again. Enjoy your January!!!
