Thinking of a tattoo? How about:
Grains Good/ Processed Foods Bad ?
OK, not the trendiest motto (how about another option? ‘My Mother is Beautiful in Everyway’). All right, I know it's rather lengthy, but this is very important stuff and worthy of permanent residence somewhere close to your heart. If you are not willing to emblazon ‘Grains Good/ Processed Foods Bad’ in some discreet place, how about really giving this some thought instead?
Unlike refined flour, whole grains are rich in nutritional benefits and fiber. All of which translates into reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer and digestive problems. Not stressing your system with processed food (especially refined corn products) will help to protect you from chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
There’s no time like the present to start the shift towards foods that are healthy and full of benefit. No one is suggesting that you give up white flour and sugar overnight… but once you start on the path of whole foods (and eating only those things you can pronounce), I will personally guarantee that you will feel better and possibly drop those pesky extra pounds without feeling hungry or slighted in any way.
FYI, here’s a link to the USDA site that really spells it out:
