The equipment required to produce is probably not affordable for home use.
When I did read throught he ingredients on first buying it, I decided it

I think so. Also, think about hunting and gathering--the
quantities, what was consumed then. We have strayed pretty far
from that plain fare.

That is the basis of the book I mentioned. On the cover, Michael
Pollan summarizes it concisely as: Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly
Plants.

I decided, from reading this book, to up my intake of vegetables
(plants) and fruits. And to try to decrease my meat intake. I would
love to really learn to have meat mostly as a condiment and not as the
focus of the meal.
And to forgo as much processed stuff as I can. Excluding stuff like
canned tomatoes and things like that. I use those a fair amount. But
the things like the fat-free half and half that Wayne mentioned...I
think I will stick to real cream...or real half and half...

And no baked goods. Or sauces. I sometimes think that is a big
part of the problem... er, MY problem. We are so hedonistic. We
have lost sight of what our bodies need....

I generally hunt and gather within the confines of the supermarket,

True. But you can hunt and gather the healthy stuff. Sure, I'm
as bad as lots of other people, but I can aspire to better things.

We generally eat pretty healthily, but there are those occasions when we
really crave something 180 degrees in the other direction. :-)

Oh, tell me about it! There's the ideal, and then there's... er,

heh. My thoughts haven't gone quite that far, but after I move
within the next year, I will start seriously gardening--and
possibly resort to other measures. It's not a necessity now, but
it seems like a wise thing to do....

Goddamn that was a good night! I went with a guy friend who's 6' 3" and
12 years younger, and he said I "did well" at dealing with the crowd (my
basic strategy was to go with the flow and not worry as long as I could
still see). It's been three years since this band has been to my city,
and hoooboy do I feel three years older!

DH says he always wants to ask people who bang on about "eating what our
Paleolithic ancestors ate", what weight of insects they eat per day.

What am I blaming him for? He's done nothing wrong -- in fact he's one
of my best mates and did a good job of watching my back at the concert.

Also, so far from a bum that it just ain't funny. Wherethe**** are
these accusations coming from?

LOL. Had my first bowl *ever* of Cheerios as part of a hospital
breakfast in 2007. Haven't had any since...

Breakfast this morning was three small homemade flatbreads with butter
and honey, some watermelon and black coffee.

I don't blame you... although honey nut cheerios are pretty good.

Not a cold cereal fan in any case. We do make our own muesli however:
toasted oat flakes, crushed toasted almonds (hazelnuts are too pricey),
plumped raisins and a little turbinado/Demerara sugar. Keeps in the
fridge for a few weeks.
