First, when my family and I were in Grand Cayman this summer, we passed by a KFC with a big statue of the colonel. I was so surpised to see the KFC (hadn't seen one when we'd been there in 2000) that I wanted to take a photo. So I said to my husband, hey, stand by the colonel and I'll take your pic. He declined and said he'd take mine instead and I though a second and said, no, also. Your comparison of the home cooked healthy meal vs the KFC "equivalent" is right on. I read once in my newspaper in the Graffiti section an eye-opening statement: "People spend hours looking for instant food." How true is that?! I used to be in that category before going GF. Your comparison demonstrates you don't spend less time, certainly not less money, and the food you get is ... well, not really food. Regarding the obese children, I was appalled to read a few months ago that anti-cholesterol drugs are now approved for children! How sad is that ... incredibly sad, I think. "Foods" occupying most of the grocery store are so full of HFCS, fillers, preservatives, etc. As we've said before, we just need to eat real food. Even those of us who are GF need to avoid the processed stuff (even if it's labeled GF) and eat real food as in your lovely recipe. Thanks for that, BTW! The French Women book is worth a read. Check it out from the library. Of course, you already know it's been shown repeatedly that folks from other countries who start out very healthy decline rapidly when they adopt a SAD.

I appreciate your comments. As far as junk food goes — sheer madness, indeed. Celiac vegetarian? That makes things doubly difficult! Lo! Great line — thoughtful eating! We should all be more aware of thoughtful eating. Kay — think of the quality of the ingredients in that $1 double cheeseburger. And you, the queen of gardening and herbs and all that wonderful fresh stuff you grow from scratch! Glad you had to go GF, much healthier now that you must avoid the drive-up window. You'd never make it to Survivor on fast food! Eat more kale! And by the way, I want to go with you. We could make an alliance right now and pretend like we don't know each other. :-) Sarah — Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate people leaving me such nice comments. And yes, it's tragic that little kids are obese. Part of the problem is soda pop. I'm inspired to do a whole post on just that. Hmmm? Happy Thanksgiving! Dana — thank you! I appreciate your comments.

I am with you all the way with your political rant. I too feel the same way about our food supply in this country. Yesterday I watched Dr. Phil for a half hour and it was all about babies and younge children - like 11 months to 8 years old who are OBESE! Now, this is absurd! An 11 month old should not weigh 60 some pounds. But I really don't blame the parents as much as how much *crap* is available to people very inexpensively. Well, inexpensive until it becomes a medical condition. These poor children are in risk of having a stroke! Okay, I'll stop, I'm just as passionate about this topic as you are obviously. Thanks so much for this wonderful post. sarah PS that pic of the KFC bowl makes my stomach turn. Hey Melissa,

I had to give up my ONLY drive thru habit when going gf. I loved MacDonald's $1 double cheeseburgers. Now I make my own at home, and eat them bun-less. Glad I'm not killing myself at the KFC window! My lob is cooking for college kids. They think everything they need to eat comes in a box or can. NONE are concerned about feeding themselves after college. They can survive on cereal, bagels, sweetened yogurt and Easy Mac. I like my real food. It's great to see the shocking numbers behind fast food. Thanks! You crack me up!

And how frightening that so many people subject their digestive system and their arteries to such junk *every day*. Sheer madness. As celiac vegetarian, there's little I can get at fast food places to begin with, but just out of pure boycotting a place that promotes such bad health, I only get things like coffee from there under extreme duress. Thanks for reminding me I better have one heck of a I-need-coffee-migraine before I drive thru again. What a fabulous post.
