Why

I am greatly disturbed. Almost disturbed enough to never eat again! Now, I know that's impossible, but the way I feel right now is that the only thing stopping me from never eating again is death.

From the water we drink to the food we eat --- and all the conflicting data out there --- how do we know what's good for us? What's safe to eat? What do I feed my infant daughter!!

Since it is in my best interests to eat, eat I shall, but the fear remains.

I hope, through this blog, to sort through all the information out there and to get the facts -- real facts, not opinions, mind you -- and try and figure out how to feed my family. Hey, maybe I can help you, my internet reader friend, out there too.

What makes me an expert? Absolutely nothing.

I have a bachelors degree in marketing, I work as an I.T. project manager. I am an author of a published eBook. I love to write, and I am relentless in my research when a topic is important to me.

So, I'm like most Americans. No special degrees, no scientific background, just a regular person trying to sift through the data. But I don't have something that gives me the advantage.

I have NO hidden agenda.

I don't believe anyone with a religious fervor. I am not paid by any food manufacturer - or anyone except my job and eBook sales (which has nothing to do with diet or food, btw). I'm not afraid of being sued.

I simply want to know what it is I'm putting in my mouth and the mouths of my family. I want to be healthy while doing it.

Now I will tell you that I eat lowcarb, and have been on and off for the past, oh, about 13 years. I have had a lot of success with it, and through my own research, I tend to believe that is a healthy diet for myself and my family. You may see me write about various lowcarb topics (it is quite the debate!) and I will have links to lowcarb sites that I frequently read.

However, I do NOT believe in a "one size fits all" mentality about diet. I do on occasion eat sugar and some starchy carbs. I am an admitted chocoholic, and I am sure to write about my own personal diet failures. LOL

Anyway, as I learn about this whole "food thing", I'll let ya'll know what I've learned. I welcome comments, I welcome the debate. And I welcome INFORMATION, so you have it, let me know!

My goal is to go on a journey in search of the truth - whatever that is. And I hope you'll come along with me.
