Food Inc - Scary stuff!

Mmmm, egg beer and lemon juice smoothie...
Or did you mean to apply it externally?

Apple Cider Vinegar is a really good clarifier for your hair, too. It makes it soft and shiny.
I also like Rosehip Oil for my face. And instead of exfoliating washes, I buy those gloves that are made of a looped plastic. Not sure if you know what I mean. I find they work much better and work out cheaper in the long run.

But yes, I understand that time is an issue. Even just reading the labels at the supermarket is quite time consuming.
That's why I included things like a breadmaker. This way you just chuck in the ingredients and it automatically bakes your bread while you sleep at night.

One thing I do to save time is that I always cook huge amounts. So that it would last at least 2 or 3 meals. I freeze the leftovers. So I don't have to cook every night. And when I'm feeling lazy, I don't have to resort too take-away.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not holier than tho. There are many more ways I could improve our consumption. But I feel doing a few things is still much better than doing nothing at all.

So I would incorporate one change at a time. Once that has become second nature, start something else.
I probably would start with finding a good butcher who sells free range and grass fed meat. If it is organic, that's a bonus. Ask them questions. Don't be embarrassed to give them the third degree. Where does your beef come from? Are the completely grass fed or grain finished (Grain finishing means to fatten them up with grains just before slaughter. I regard this as an acceptable practice)? Everything you want to know, ask them. If they don't know, that's not a good sign. If they don't want to find out for you, go somewhere else.
