Aside from your arteries thanking you, the pigs, chickens, cows (butter), and environment thank you!

Well, I know one thing. You’re mom will dig the Clif Bars. I’ve recently switched from greasy ham & egg croissants to Clif bars for those morning commutes. I was surprised to find out exactly how filling those tiny things could be.

Well, Dave, you’re not my mom. Cheese is pretty tough on most people’s guttyworks. It’s a pretty complex food, with some tough protein to get at and a bunch of unkindly fat.

And since I know my dad doesn’t eat cheese, the fact that my mom mentioned she ate cheese means she bought the cheese for herself. So I’m giving her a very public finger-wagging. If she instead had a nutritional yeast-based cheese-like food it would be easier on her system and satisy that need for a cheesy-tasting snack. Plus it would boost her B vitamins, boosting her energy.

I totally grabbed a piece of cheese for snack last night! And, no, that is not a euphemism.

Nothing in there should be scary. The crackers taste like less-oily cheez-its, I kept a stock of the miso soup in my office whenever I forgot to make a lunch, and the vanilla hempmilk is almost like a dessert (and it has some really good fats in there for you). I threw in a gluten-free item just so you could see what happens, gauge your body’s response to it. Something’s gotta work for you so you can be strong and come visit.

thank you daughter’o mine. It looks a little scary to me,but I promise to try everything. I am snacking on honey nut cheerios right now,but I have a feeling based on your theory this is not a gluten free item.

Um, she’s my mom. No matter how much I do for her, there’s no way I’m ever going to break even.

And all those stores are within walking distance. Ain’t no thang.
