I like to think that I eat pretty healthy. My husband still has some pretty big issues (I will not deny that I do not either.) For the most part though, I eat fairly healthy. I will say that I don't think that I could ever stop eating meat. I love meat, and do believe that it is important to my diet. However, I only get my meat from my local farm where I get my milk, eggs, and cream to make butter, or from the Amish, and never from a grocery store or market. I know what goes into the things I eat. As for bacon, I am slightly sensitive to greasy foods, and tend to stay away from them as they give me bad stomach cramping and an all around "yucky" feeling. Your giving me quite an appeite for apricots. I hope I can find some when I am done fasting.
