Disclaimer: neither of us have a degree in nutrition or food safety, nor has either of us passed a test or inspection. If you walked into our kitchen, most of the time you'd realize why we've never made the cover of Better Homes and Gardens - more often than not it looks more like the cartoon above. But we like to eat good food and we're vitally concerned with our health and that of our daughter's. We think a lot of the rules are the overblown result of marketing and that the reason there is so much food related illness in the news is because 1) people don't know where their food originates and 2) people don't properly care for the ingredients that will become their food.
