I’m glad to see others here posting about “clean eating”.
We all have our vices but this can be a good opportunity for some people to go with less flour, sugar, all those “enemies” to our bodies. Of course we have to give ourselves these treats or we’ll go crazy lol.
As for me, especially due to fibromyalgia, I eat very, very clean. No preservatives, no sugar, no flour, no processed foods, no high fructose corn syrup, no modified corn starch, no gluten, no hormones, no factory farming, free range, humanely raised, the list goes on. (Occasionally I’ll spurge on pizza or bread)
As I mentioned I’m so grateful for the food but the only soup they had in the store was progresso which has modified corn starch in it. My body hasn’t had these things and I hope it handles it okay because I have little choice.
Anyway I don’t do factory farming and requested an uncured free range no sodium erythrobite, nitrate etc ham. Well as I mentioned before, the shopper grabbed what he could which I soooo do appreciate and am very grateful for. Unfortunately it’s from Smithfield LoL. Yes the plant with 300 sick workers that’s shutting down. I’m grossed about to think about a bunch of CV positive people coughing and handling this ham. CDC said last month there is no risk of transmission, especially if you cook it, but it’s still far from appetizing.
Anyway I haven’t had nitrates in my body in who knows how long. And from a factory type plant ugg.
It’s either eat this Coronavirus exposed chemically ridden and factory farmed piece of meat or starve Lol. I’m so grossed out by it I thought about tossing it but what a waste of food that would be and I WOULD NEVeR waste food, especially now.
I thought about seeing if I can trade it for some beer or something with a neighbor haha.
I’d gladly donate it if I could get out there to do so. I know people would love to have a ham right now.
Anyway, I’m going to cook and brown the heck out of it in slices, then put it in small portions in the back of the freezer for when I absolutely absolutely have to eat it. I’ll be very grateful when that time happens to have it, I’m sure. Right now I look at it and call it my “coronavirus ham”.
Let us know when it starts please, pocketaccent.
